Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5672 - 26th February 2021

• Macrium Task Scheduler
  
  • A scheduled backup that sleeps or hibernates the PC after completion could wake the PC a short time after completion. This has been resolved.
  • Missed scheduled backups for the same backup definition may not honor the Full/Diff/Inc order of precedence when starting causing an Incorrect number of backups to run. This has been resolved.
• Retention Purge
  Differential retention could report an incorrect number of Differentials found in the backup log. This has been resolved.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5555 - 19th January 2021

• Macrium Task Scheduler - Unsupported Operation
  The German language version of Macrium Reflect v7.3.5550 reports the error "Attempted an unsupported operation" when taking the Defaults > Scheduler menu option.

  Note: This release will not patch English versions of Macrium Reflect from v7.3.5550. English language versions at v7.3.5550 are unaffected by this release.

  • English language versions will not patch from v7.3.5550 to v7.3.5555. This isn't required.
  • All Full installer downloads will be v7.3.5555
  • All German language installs will patch to v7.3.5555.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5550 - 18th January 2021

• Macrium Task Scheduler
  
  • Under Edit Defaults > Scheduler, we've added a checkbox to prevent the system from sleeping while scheduled scripts are running. Sleep is always prevented while the backup itself is being taken, but this checkbox will also prevent sleep while the rest of the script is running.
  • When waking the computer from sleep, or booting up when Windows Fast Boot is enabled, missed scheduled backups would start running immediately without giving the user time to log in and view the Postpone Backup pop-up message. This has been resolved.
  • On some systems, the 'Start the task only if the computer is on AC power' option would prevent scheduled backups from running even though the system was not running on battery power. This has been resolved.
• Rescue Media
  If the ProgramData folder and the Reflect installation folder were on different drives, then Reflect would be unable to download Windows PE. This has been resolved.
• Backup_running
  A failed backup, due to power failure or removing the target drive, could cause the next backup to fail by detecting, but not deleting, the 'backup_running' mutex file. This has been resolved.
• viBoot
  viBoot can now handle images of system disk with 4K sectors.
• Retention Purge
  "Run purge before backup" could cause the current set Full backup to be purged when running a Diff or Inc. This has been resolved.
• MIG - Server Plus
  SQL backups to MIG protected network shares is now supported.
• Various
  Various minor fixes and changes to improve Macrium Reflect.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5365 - 26th November 2020

• Macrium Task Scheduler
  
  • Scheduling a backup to run as a specific user would sometimes prevent the Power Saving options from working correctly. This has been resolved.
  • Under certain circumstances, restarting Macrium Service would cause the Macrium Task Scheduler to stop running for around a minute. This has been resolved.
  • Schedule start dates can no longer be set later than the year 2999.
• File and Folder Backup
  Deleting a backed up folder and creating a file with the same name as the deleted folder mid backup set could cause a File and Folder backup set to fail to load. This has been resolved.
• Changed Block Tracker
  We've changed Windows event ID 13 - "IOCTL_MRCBT_QUERY_VOLUME_TRACKING_INFORMATION failed on device" to be Informational.
• Exchange backup
  
  • Exchange backup was not checking for missing DB files to ensure a DB was available for backup. This has been resolved.
  • Mixed case database filename extensions could cause databases to not be backed up. This has been resolved.
• Various
  Various minor fixes and changes to improve Macrium Reflect.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5321 - 3rd November 2020

• Macrium Task Scheduler
  
  • If a scheduled backup was missed without the option 'Run the task as soon as possible after a scheduled task is missed' enabled, then the Run Now button would stop working until the PC was restarted. This has been resolved.
  • Scheduled backups running on startup were starting too quickly, without giving network connections time to initialise. This has been resolved.
  • The Macrium Task Scheduler now keeps extra copies of its internal configuration files to prevent failure on corruption.
  • When trying to import a scheduled task with a definition file path that doesn't exist, Reflect will now prompt to Browse for a different definition file.
• Rescue Media Builder
  The Windows Version of the WinRE kernel could be incorrectly displayed. This has been resolved.
• Reflect Monitor
  ReflectMonitor.exe could fail to launch at logon and prevent notification of running backups. This has been resolved.
• Backup Log
  A Consolidation 'Warning' error could override a 'Failure' error for a backup and incorrectly display a Warning icon instead of Error. This has been resolved.
• License Key
  We've added 'copy' functionality for the license key displayed in the About dialog

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5289 - 16th October 2020

• Changed Block Tracker
  On some systems, CBT could execute the wrong notification handler in response to a malformed notification. This could result in the following bug checks: MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS, KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE or ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY. This has now been resolved.
• Macrium Task Scheduler
  
  • Scheduled VBScript files could fail with error code 0xC1 instead of running. This has been resolved.
  • The German language UI scheduled backups context menu could cause a program exception. This has been resolved.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5283 - 15th October 2020

• Changed Block Tracker
  When removing a USB attached storage device, an APC_INDEX_MISMATCH BSoD could be generated if there was an outstanding kernel lock on the device. This has been resolved.

Initial Macrium Reflect v7.3 Public Release v7.3.5281 - 14th October 2020

We recommend all users upgrade to this release.

• Initial v7.3 Release
  Please see this KB article for more information on what's included.
  
• Changed Block Tracker
  After performing a restore of a non-system volume for which CBT had been enabled, CBT could become disabled on that volume and would not re-enable until the system had been restarted. This has been resolved.
  
• Email Notifications
  We've enhanced OpenSSL integration and upgraded to 1.1.1h to address any potential security concerns.
  

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.5107 - 5th August 2020

• Reflect hanging after running a backup
  Release 7.2.5098 could cause ReflectBin.exe to hang at the end of a backup. This has been resolved.
  

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.5098 - 5th August 2020

• Restore/Clone
  
  • We've added a new confirmation prompt when extending a partition beyond 2TB on an MBR disk. Extending beyond 2TB will cause the disk layout to be converted to GPT format and will cause MBR system disks to be non-bootable.
    In the rescue media, we've also added a warning to indicate that disks converted to GPT will not be accessible by Windows XP and Server 2003.
  • When copying an MBR 'Active' partition to an existing non 'Active' partition the target partition may not get marked 'Active' after restoring. This has been resolved.
• Automatic system restore for 32 bit systems
  If initiating a system restore in Windows causes the boot menu to be automatically added then, for 32 bit systems, local NIC and mass storage drivers may not be copied. This has been resolved.
  
• Changed Block Tracker
  
  • Fixed a permission issue that prevented the Encrypted File System (EFS) from encrypting some files on volumes that were formatted while CBT was active.
  • Improved compatibility with Windows 10 build 2004.
• Various
  Various minor fixes and changes to improve Macrium Reflect.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4971 - 16th June 2020

• Legacy MBR Systems
  
  • For MBR Windows 10 systems the 'Create an image of the partition(s) required to backup and restore Windows' now includes the Windows Recovery partition.
  • MBR systems using BitLocker for the Windows volume would require running 'Fix Windows boot problems' after a 'live' BitLocker restore. This has been resolved.
• UEFI System detection
  The Windows 10 2004 (May) update caused legacy MBR systems to be detected as UEFI. This has been resolved.
  
• File and Folder Backup
  File and Folder 'Folders to exclude' now permits trailing backslashes.
  
• Macrium viBoot
  viBoot Virtual Machine names are now limited to 100 characters. This prevents viBoot VMs from exceeding the Hyper-V name length limit.
  
• Rescue Media Builder
  
  • RMBuilder now prevents the boot menu being set for PE 3.1 on UEFI booting systems. PE 3.1 is legacy MBR only.
  • RMBuilder would incorrectly report that not enough free space was available when using 1GB flash media. This has been resolved.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4952 - 29th May 2020

• Macrium Image Guardian
  Some customers have reported erroneous MIG block notifications and a Macrium Service process crash. This has been resolved

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4942 - 22nd May 2020

• Backup Progress
  We've added a live backup total progress bar to the Reflect task bar icon.
• Backup blocked
  A few customers have noticed backups hanging after completion which could prevent the next backup from starting. We've improved the communication between backup instances to prevent a potential race condition.
• ReDeploy
  Some customers have noticed poor CPU performance after redeploying to new hardware. ReDeploy has been improved to only reset CPU drivers if a CPU change is detected

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4884 - 9th May 2020

• Email Notifications
  Some customers have reported that Reflect notification emails have been rejected by their email service providers. This has been resolved.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4861 - 23rd April 2020

• XP Only
  This is an XP only release that resolves the error "missing bcrypt.dll" when starting Reflect.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4859 - 23rd April 2020

• File and Folder Backup
  We've excluded MS Volume Shadow Copy from participating in backups of removable drives. Previously, a File and Folder backup would report VSS errors before continuing if folders on a removable drive, such as a Flash drive, were included. VSS is not supported on removable media.
• MS Exchange
  Some customers have reported an application crash when running MS Exchange incremental backups. This has been resolved.
• GPT Disk Layouts
  We've added an additional check to allow the GPT partition table to contain gaps when loading disk layouts in Reflect. It's possible that GPT partition tables can be non-contiguous if the disk has been formatted or updated using Linux.
• Rescue Media
  
  • To distinguish between multiple Ethernet Adapters with a similar name, the Windows PE Network Adapter dialog now shows the MAC address of each adapter.
  • Changing the rescue media staging area volume would not always remove all the files on the old volume. This has been resolved.
  • If a new edition of Reflect is installed, e.g, Workstation to Server, the Rescue Media Builder will now prompt for a rebuild of the rescue media.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4808 - 25th March 2020

• German Language Version Only
  A program exception could occur when opening the verification dialog. This has been resolved.
• Macrium Changed Block Tracker (MRCBT)
  CBT could erroneously hang on to volume locks on some systems causing problems with scheduling system volume chkdsk events, USB drive ejection and OneDrive Personal Vault. This has been resolved.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4797 - 19th March 2020

In response to potential file system corruption issues that could arise from applying some recent Windows Updates, we have reviewed our data integrity checks and implemented new features:
See https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/kb4535996/134c504e-bb55-4e3c-a5da-28794a4b6079

Note: The first Incremental after installing may take much longer than normal.

• Changed Block Tracker
  We've improved CBT to reset more robustly on System power failure, unexpected shutdown and unexpected device removal.
• Repair option when verifying Image files
  We've added an 'Attempt repair' option when verifying image files. If block corruption is detected and the live file system contains the original data then the block is repaired by replacing with the original data. Block corruption is exceptionally rare but this additional feature is designed to further mitigate file system and storage problems. We've also added an additional command line switch to the standalone verification utility.

  See https://knowledgebase.macrium.com/display/KNOW72/Verifying+image+and+backup+files
  and https://knowledgebase.macrium.com/display/KNOW72/Verifying+image+and+backup+files+from+the+command+line

  Note: Repair isn't guaranteed and will only be attempted if the originating source volume exists on the system performing the verification.

• Consolidation
  We've also added verification and live repair attempt on verification failure for merged blocks during consolidation. If a data block fails verification when read for merging, the live file system is checked for the original block data.
• Incremental Deltas
  It was possible for a damaged Incremental index to go undetected when constructing a full index chain. This was a rare occurrence, but it could propagate further into the backup set. We have enhanced our detection code to prevent this from occurring in future.
• Clone and restore
  Display power saving settings are now honored during Clone and Restore operations. Previously the display would remain on regardless of the Windows settings.
• Exchange
  Exchange delta incs could fail to build if multiple volumes were present for Exchange DB and meta data/log files. This has been resolved.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4744 - 18th February 2020

• Alternative Locations
  The 'Alternative Locations' functionality could fail to work as expected and attempt to append to backup sets from the alternative location even if the primary location was available. This has been resolved.

  Note: When a backup runs, If the location contains an orphaned delta Incremental then the text '.error_loading' will be appended to the orphaned file name and the backup will continue. This will be indicated in the backup log as a warning.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4732 - 15th February 2020

• Error: 'Error reading Image file'
  Some customers have received 'Error reading Image file' when creating Delta Incremental Images. This has been resolved.
  We recommend re-building your rescue media if currently built with v7.2.4711 to ensure compatibility with your backup sets.
• Volume detection
  Reflect would fail to recognise file systems formatted on Dynamic volumes spanning disks with 4K sector sizes. This has been resolved.
• Rescue Media Builder
  
  • This release resolves a problem starting the rescue environment from the recovery boot created menu with v7.2.4711.
    Note: Running either this full installer or patch will automatically correct the current boot menu. If you continue to have problems then please launch RMBuilder and remove/re-add the boot menu.
  
  
  • Moving the PE staging files to a different drive would result in duplication of the boot\Macrium sub folder. This has been resolved.
    Note: If a corrupt PE staging folder structure is detected by RMBuilder then it will be automatically deleted.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4711 - 12th February 2020

• Delta Index Saving Efficiency
  We've improved the efficiency of saving Incrementals with large delta indexes.
• Technicians USB
  We've enabled the Technicians USB stick and ISO to run the portable version of Reflect on Windows Hyper-V and Server Core OS's.
• Phantom partitions on GPT Disks
  A corrupt GPT partition table on disk could cause Reflect to display 'phantom' disk partitions. This has been resolved.
• Standalone Consolidation
  Using the Standalone Consolidation tool, consolidate.exe, to consolidate Incrementals where an existing consolidated Inc is between the 'From' and 'To' Inc, could cause Reflect to erroneously try to locate a previously consolidated file when the backup set was opened. This has been resolved.
• File and Folder
  If a File and Folder backup definition included multiple root paths for the same drive but the drive letter was specified in both upper and lower case (eg, 'D:\Data\1' & 'd:\Data\2') then the backed up paths could be erroneously split at 'D:' & 'd:' when mounting the backup in Windows Explorer. This has been resolved
• Alternative locations
  Using 'Alternative locations' for a backup could break the 'Enforce an entered image or File and Folder backup file name' option in the global defaults. This has been resolved
• Rescue Media Builder
  
  • When building PE 10 rescue media, RMBuilder will now correctly detect any installed PE 10 ADK of version 1803 or later.
  • If RMBuilder found any file system errors while scanning a folder for drivers, the rescue media builder could close unexpectedly. This has been resolved.
  • When building PE 10 rescue media, RMBuilder would sometimes unnecessarily perform a full rebuild of the wim. This has been resolved.
  • Under certain circumstances, RMBuilder would not be able to swap between Windows PE and Windows RE. This has been resolved.
  • Checking and un-checking the Override Drivers checkbox will no longer cause drivers to change status from "Driver already present" to "Copy host drivers".

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4601 - 24th December 2019

• Image Mounting
  Un-mounting an image failed if Windows Explorer was showing the mounted drive letter. This has been resolved.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4594 - 23rd December 2019

• Image Mounting
  A small number of customers reported that they could not mount Macrium Reflect images after dismounting a previously mounted image. This has been resolved.
• viBoot
  We've improved the ability for Reflect to detect bootable image files and enable the 'Boot Image' functionality in Reflect.
• Bitlocker system restore
  Automatic system restores for BitLocker encrypted system volumes could perform a 'BitLocker Removal' restore instead of the expected 'BitLocker Live' restore. This has been resolved.
• VBScript & PowerShell
  The 'Run Once a Day' option when generating PowerShell and VBScript source files didn't behave as expected for scheduled tasks using the SYSTEM account. This has been resolved.
• Verify File System
  The 'Verify File System' default image option was not honored if unchecked for scheduled images running using the SYSTEM account. This has been resolved.
• Rescue Media Builder
  
  • The default location for PE files has been moved back to $PROGRAMDATA$\Macrium\Reflect'.
  • On Windows 7, when building Windows PE rescue media, RMBuilder will now use the Dism.exe corresponding to the wim, rather than the Dism.exe from the WAIK.
  • On Windows XP, the radio button labels for boot menu options would sometimes be truncated. This has been resolved.
  • If the "override WinPE compatible drivers" checkbox was unchecked, custom USB drivers would sometimes not be included into the rescue media. This has been resolved.
  • If there was more than one version of the Windows ADK installed, RMBuilder would not copy required files from either installed ADK, and would instead prompt for a download. This has been resolved

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4557 - 29th November 2019

• Macrium Image Guardian
  While attempting to retrieve the status of a process that was closing, the MIG driver could inadvertently access an invalid address resulting in a BSoD. This has been resolved.
• Rescue Media Builder
  
  • On Windows XP, the rescue media builder would sometimes give a "WIM file not found" pop-up when there was a valid WIM file present. This has been resolved.
  • When performing an automatic restore on a system with multiple network adapters, the network adapter configuration process will be logged in more detail.

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.2.4539 - 18th November 2019

• Server Plus Edition
  Exchange backups could crash after completion if the log file couldn't be written to. This has been resolved
• Incorrect ReflectUI.exe Message Box
  On system startup an incorrect pop-up dialog box could be shown by ReflectUI.exe. This has been resolved

  Images created by 'foreign' systems (not the same PC) could fail to enable the 'Boot Image' functionality in Reflect. This has been resolved
• Macrium Image Guardian
  We've improved the security of MIG by enhancing the malicious injection of threads into running processes.
• Change Block Tracker
  Minor performance and stability enhancements.
• Rescue Media Builder
  
  • On some systems with dynamic disks, it was possible for the location of the PE files to be incorrectly set, causing boot menu entries to fail. This has been resolved.
  • On USB-based rescue media, un-checking the "Check for devices missing drivers on boot" checkbox and rebuilding would sometimes not make the rescue media stop prompting for missing drivers. This has been resolved.
  • When building Technicians media, failing to create autorun.inf will no longer cause the rescue media creation to abort.
  • If the Windows ADK version 1607 was installed but a 64-bit PE 10 zip file was used to build rescue media, any subsequent 32-bit PE 10 builds would not prompt for an updated wim but would always use the 1607 wim from the ADK. This has been resolved.
  • RMBuilder could fail to detect a new version of Windows RE after a Windows update. This has been resolved.

Bug fixes v7.2.4524 - Free Edition Only - 31st October 2019

• v7.2.4523 Error
  Internet access through a proxy server could cause v7.2.4523 Free Edition to receive a program error when checking for updates. This has been resolved.

• XP Boot Menu
  Windows XP can now handle boot menu creation when the 'C:' drive has the compressed attribute set.
• Auto System restore
  A "Backup is running" message box could be incorrectly shown on Windows Vista when performing an automatic restore. This has been resolved.
• SQL Continuous backup
  The Start end End time calculations didn't take into account the local time zone. This has been resolved.
• Rescue Media Builder
  
  • On multi-boot systems, Windows RE WIM files for a different architecture to the current OS will now be ignored when scanning.
  • When building rescue media with a custom wim for a different architecture to the running OS (eg. a 32-bit custom wim on a 64-bit system), RMBuilder will now detect the architecture mismatch and will not try to copy drivers from the host OS.
  • On Windows Vista, RMBuilder would sometimes give "WIM file not found" error messages when a valid Wim file was present. This has been resolved.
  • Since Windows PE does not support wifi, Windows PE rescue media will no longer give Unsupported Devices messages for wifi devices.
  • In certain cases, 64-bit drivers could be automatically copied into the 32-bit drivers folder. This has been resolved.
  • USB root hubs will now be shown in the list of devices on RMBuilder's Devices And Drivers options tab.
  • If the Windows ADK is installed but a newer version of Windows PE is available from a zip file, RMBuilder will now build rescue media from the zip file wim rather than the ADK wim..
  • When performing an automatic restore on a system with multiple network adapters, the rescue media would sometimes not correctly set the network configuration for all adapters. This has been resolved.
  • USB Devices in RMBuilder now show the volume label as well as the drive letter.
  • The 'Backup Selection' dialog in Reflect and the 'Update Drivers' dialog in RMBuilder have been updated to allow for easier browsing for network folders.

• Microsoft Exchange Backup to GUID path
  The message "Not enough memory resources are available to process this command" could be displayed when backing up exchange to a volume guid path rather than a drive letter. This has been resolved.
• USB host driver copy
  USB devices could fail to be recognized if Windows PE/RE if the Rescue Media Builder had copied USB host drivers. This is now an optional setting in the RMBuilder 'Advanced' dialog and the defaulted operation for a fresh install is set to disabled. Please enable this option if necessary if you are having USB problems in the rescue media.
• Rescue Media BitLocker unlock
  The MS utility 'manage-bde.exe' could fail to run correctly in the rescue media. This has been resolved. If this issue affects you then please re-create your rescue media after updating.

• Microsoft SQL Restore
  Server Plus could crash when attempting to restore the SQL tail log. This has been resolved.
• viBoot Backup
  When creating a backup from within viBoot a password was prompted for even if the base image was not password protected. This has been resolved.

What's New v7.2.4325 - 10th June 2019

• Macrium Technicians License
  We've improved the Technicians license product by adding the option to create a Technicians ISO image file and optical media. This offers the full functionality of the Technicians USB stick but also allows you to use it with Hyper-V VMs by attaching the ISO file to a DVD virtual device.
• Clone and Restore Confirmation
  We've added an additional confirmation check box when overwriting a Clone or Restore target disk. This offers Reflect users unfamiliar with the result of a Restore/Clone operation the opportunity to confirm or deny the overwrite operation.
• ReDeploy
  When attempting to ReDeploy Windows 7 using PE/RE 10 or Windows 10 using PE/RE 3.1 we now prevent IDE/ACHI services and drivers from being copied from the rescue media. This has caused un-bootable systems for some customers previously.
• Rescue media USB drivers

• Changed Block Tracker
  CBT could be disabled for a volume after a reboot forced by running 'chkdsk /f'. This has been resolved.

Server Plus Only - What's New v7.2.4230 - 22nd April 2019

Bug Fixes

• Image Guardian
  
  • MIG could block the creation of SQL backups. This has been resolved.

What's New v7.2.4228 - 21st April 2019

• Image file loading speed improvement
  Reduced the time taken for Reflect to read the indexes back from the previous files in the backup set. This is most noticeable when reading a large number of remote files.
  

Bug Fixes

• Change Block Tracker
  
  • Fixed an issue where a TRIM operation on a Registry hive would cause a dead-lock if some third-party software was holding a lock on the Registry.
  • Fixed an issue where CBT could not be enabled on some volumes if the list of file extents for the NTFS $LogFile spanned a 512 byte boundary.
• Image Guardian
  
  • Fixed an issue on some Windows 7 systems, where MIG was prevented from using the Microsoft cryptographic functions.
  • MIG could block the creation of SQL backups. This has been resolved.

Bug Fixes v7.1.2963 - 17th March 2018

• Windows 7/10 32 Bit BSOD when booting
  A Windows Update on the 13th March has caused some Windows 7 and 10 32 bit systems to fail to load Windows after updating. The error occurs when kernel mode driver 'pssnap.sys' loads at boot time. This update removes 'pssnap.sys' from boot time configuration. Note: Simply deleting the file is insufficient to resolve the problem.
  We recommend that 32 bit installations of Macrium Reflect on XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7, 32 bit operating systems update to this release.
  If you have already updated Windows and experience this error then please see this KB article for a solution:

  If you have not yet updated Windows then please update to this version of Macrium Reflect to enable Windows to update without problems.
  After updating, XP, Vista and Windows 7 32 bit systems, will no longer have 'pssnap.sys' available. If MS VSS shadow copies fail, then your backups will no-longer fall back to using 'pssnap'. Please ensure that any VSS errors are resolved to successfully complete your backups.
