Download Macrium Reflect 7.1.2718

Paramount Software has released a new version 7.1 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 7.1.2646, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Fixed in version 7.1.2718

• Macrium Image Guardian would still be active when ‘Restart service on reboot’ was selected in the settings dialog. This has been resolved.
• Macrium viBoot could incorrectly mount an MBR style disk, stored within an image file, as a GPT disk – if the disk had previously been initialized as a GPT disk. This has now been resolved.

Fixed in version 7.1.2697

• German language customers could experience a program crash when accessing the Macrium Image Guardian settings dialog. This has been resolved.

Fixed in version 7.1.2695

• Security Update for Scheduled Tasks using Windows Task Scheduler 1.0
  This updates includes changes for the Anniversary Update and later installs of Windows 10 when manually scheduling backups using the Windows Task Scheduler 1.0 outside of Macrium Reflect. To overcome a process elevation bug in MS Windows Task Scheduler 1.0, scheduled tasks calling ‘Reflect.exe’ would automatically bypass UAC for all user groups. This could lead to a potential security threat allowing a Standard user to create and execute backups of sensitive data. This functionality is now disabled. Macrium Reflect v7 uses Windows Task Scheduler 2.0 so there is no action to take regarding this change for normal scheduling of tasks in Macrium Reflect.
• Security Update for Pre and Post VSS backup scripts
  This update includes changes to the pre and post VSS snapshot script funtionality described in the KB article: Stopping the SQL Server service automatically when backing up. This functionality is now Off by default and must be enabled by creating the following registry entry:
  • Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macrium\Reflect\settings
  • Name: EnablePrePostScripts
  • Type: DWORD 32 bit
  • Value: Off = 0, On = 1
  • Default: 0

• Server Plus – Mailbox Restore
  In rare cases, Mailbox Restore would be fail to restore email recipients if the recipient data contained flagged property values. This has been resolved.
• Workstation Edition – Backup Events

• Bitlocker Restore failed – Write failed – 13 – Permission denied
  When restoring a BitLocker unlocked partiton, if the target partiton had been shrunk since the image was created then Reflect would incorrectly preform a ‘Live’ BitLocker restore. This has been resolved.
