Download Macrium Reflect 7.1.2963

Paramount Software has released a new version of Macrium Reflect. This program can create a disk image of a partition or hard disk. In addition to the free version, there are also paid performances those different extras such as being able to create a file backup or an incremental backup, encryption, and restoring a backup to different hardware than it was created on.

From version 7.1 the free version is no longer only for private use, but can now also be used in commercial environments. In addition, Image Guardian is designed to protect backup files from unauthorized modifications, improvements have been made to virtual images, and several bugs have been fixed. Since version 7.1.2899, the following two issues have been fixed:

Fixed in version 7.1.2963

• 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.

Fixed in version 7.1.2917

• The rescue media could fail to boot and cause a run time error. This has been resolved. We recommend creating fresh Windows PE rescue media after updating.
