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.
    <ul>
    	<li>English language versions will not patch from v7.3.5550 to v7.3.5555. This isn't required.</li>
    	<li>All Full installer downloads will be v7.3.5555</li>

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

  • Macrium Task Scheduler
    <ul>
    	<li>Under Edit Defaults &gt; 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.</li>
    	<li>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.</li>
    	<li>On some desktops, the 'Start the task only if the computer is on AC power' option would prevent scheduled backups from running even though no battery was present. This has been resolved.</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li><strong>Rescue Media</strong><br />
    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.</li>
    <li><strong>Backup_running</strong><br />
    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.</li>
    <li><strong>viBoot</strong><br />
    viBoot can now handle images of system disk with 4K sectors.</li>
    <li><strong>Retention Purge</strong><br />
    "Run purge before backup" could cause the current set Full backup to be purged when running a Diff or Inc. This has been resolved.</li>
    <li><strong>MIG - Server Plus</strong><br />
    SQL backups to MIG protected network shares is now supported.</li>

    </ul>
    </li>
    <li><strong>File and Folder Backup</strong><br />

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

  • Macrium Task Scheduler
    <ul>
    	<li>If a scheduled backup was missed without the option <strong>'Run the task as soon as possible after a scheduled task is missed'</strong> enabled, then the Run Now button would stop working until the PC was restarted. This has been resolved.</li>
    	<li>Scheduled backups running on startup were starting too quickly, without giving network connections time to initialise. This has been resolved.</li>
    	<li>The Macrium Task Scheduler now keeps extra copies of its internal configuration files to prevent failure on corruption.</li>

    </ul>
    </li>
    <li><strong>Rescue Media Builder</strong><br />
    The Windows Version of the WinRE kernel could be incorrectly displayed. This has been resolved.</li>

    <li><strong>Backup Log</strong><br />

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

    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 v7.2.5107 - 5th August 2020

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

  • Restore/Clone
    <ul>
    	<li>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.<br />
    	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.</li>
    	<li>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.</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li><strong>Automatic system restore for 32 bit systems</strong><br />
    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.</li>
    <li><strong>Changed Block Tracker</strong>
    <ul>
    	<li>
    	<ul>
    		<li>Fixed a permission issue that prevented the Encrypted File System (EFS) from encrypting some files on volumes that were formatted while CBT was active.</li>
    	</ul>
    
    	<ul>
    		<li>Improved compatibility with Windows 10 build 2004.</li>

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

  • Legacy MBR Systems
    <ul>
    	<li>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.</li>
    	<li>MBR systems using BitLocker for the Windows volume would require running 'Fix Windows boot problems' after a 'live' BitLocker restore. This has been resolved.</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li><strong>UEFI System detection</strong><br />
    The Windows 10 2004 (May) update caused legacy MBR systems to be detected as UEFI. This has been resolved.</li>
    <li><strong>File and Folder Backup</strong><br />
    File and Folder 'Folders to exclude' now permits trailing backslashes.</li>
    <li><strong>Rescue Media Builder</strong>
    <ul>
    	<li>RMBuilder now prevents the boot menu being set for PE 3.1 on UEFI booting systems. PE 3.1 is legacy MBR only.</li>
    	<li>RMBuilder would incorrectly report that not enough free space was available when using 1GB flash media. This has been resolved.</li>
