v8.1.7262 - 5th January 2023

• Imaging Priority
  When imaging an NVMe system disk, where the target disk is also NVMe, the system can become unresponsive due to I/O saturation. We've changed the priority levels to compensate for this, and the default process priority is now level 3 - 'Normal'.
  
  The range is now:
  
   1 - Idle
   2 - Below Normal
   3 - Normal {default}
   4 - Above Normal
  
  Previously the default priority was '4 - High Priority'. This is no-longer an option.
• Changed Block Tracker
  We've fixed a 'Volume in use' error reported by the Windows Disk Management Console.
• Email Parameters
  We've added a new email parameter {BackupFileSize}.
  Note: For split files, this only gives the size of the last file. This is a known limitation.
• Restore Only Popup Dialog
  When running a background backup task, the 'Restore Only' message dialog could be hidden behind other windows. This has been resolved.

v8.1.7248 - 21st December

• Technicians' License
  The expiration date of the Technicians license was omitted from the application title bar. This has been resolved
• Image Verification
  Automatic verification would crash when run on a system with a single CPU core. This has been resolved.

• Background Task Queue
  We've improved the layout of the Task Queue list by adding backup type and Full/Diff/Inc columns.

  • An incorrect 'Restore only mode' message box was shown when running a normal scheduled task. This has been resolved.
  • Trial rescue media would always load in 'Restore Only' mode. This has been resolved.
• Rescue Media
  The Reflect application title bar would show an incorrect PE/RE type. This has been resolved.
• Main Toolbar

v8.1.7232 - 14th December

• Background Task Queue
  We've added a background task 'queue' to manage execution order and deletion of background backups and scheduled tasks.
  Please see here, for more information.
• Restore Only Mode
  Macrium Reflect Free Edition is now deprecated. Now, once the trial period has expired, Macrium Reflect will run in a 'Restore Only' mode rather than revert to the Free Edition.
  This allows pre-existing backups to be restored, but no new backup operations are permitted. The commands to create new backups are grayed out in the user interface.
  Please see here, for more information and a list of trial keys to use when testing.
• Change Block Tracker
  
  • Various performance improvements when tracking changes to NVMe devices.
