Download Macrium Reflect 8.0.6353

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 do a file backup or an incremental backup, encryption, and restoring a backup to different hardware than it was created on.

Version 8.0 has been available since mid-May, but the free version could not be picked up yet. Alternatively, a trial version of Macrium Reflect Home could be installed, which would then switch back to the free version after 30 days. From now on that is is no longer necessarybecause the free version can now also be downloaded directly.

Bug Fixes and Improvements v8.0.6350

Macrium Reflect Free

• Macrium Reflect v8 Free Edition is now available for download†

Localization

• We’ve added French, Russian and Ukrainian translations to Macrium Reflect, and improved the coverage of translated strings.

Windows 11

• Support has been added in RMBuilder for the Windows 11 PE Rescue Environment.
• The rescue media now correctly automatically assigns drive letter ‘C’ to the Windows 11 system drive.
• The rescue media now correctly identifies and labels Windows 11 for ‘Fix Boot Problems’ and ‘ReDeploy’
• We’ve fixed a problem that could cause a Windows 11 disk clone to hang at the end of the clone process. If this affects you then please create fresh rescue media after updating.

Rescue Media Builder

• The interface would not scale correctly when moved to a different monitor. This has been resolved.

scheduling

• The backup delay after reboot for scheduled backups is now user configurable. This enables a custom delay to enable network shares and external disks to come on-line before starting a backup. see here for more information.
• The message displayed in the log for a full target disk has been improved
• On some systems, tasks scheduled to run at logon would not always run. This has been resolved.

File and Folder Backup/Restore

• There’s a new option in Restore to select the “Parent Folder” to restore when restoring to a new location. It’s now possible to restore individual files directly into the new folder, or restore higher parent folder(s) of the selected files.
• Note, if the files selected to restore are in multiple folders then the common parent folder of the selected files is used as the base parent. see here for more information.
• Some file modified dates in File and Folder backups could be off by the DST time difference. This has been resolved.
• Use of inconsistent share name case in network share paths could lead to multiple root folders when mounting the backup in Explorer. This has been resolved.
• Customers reported a rare case where exclusion filters could be ignored in Japanese. This has been resolved.

cloning

• We’ve resolved a problem where shrinking large FAT32 file systems, where the root directory cluster wasn’t at a standard offset, could cause the cloned file system to be unreadable.
• Note: The cluster offset indicates that the file system wasn’t created by Windows, and is a rare occurrence.

viBoat

• viBoot would not respond to a theme change. This has been resolved.
• viBoot incorrectly checking password encrypted image files during VM creation. This has been resolved.
• Empty error message was displayed when attempting to change repository location. This has been resolved.

Change Block Tracker

Image Guardian

• We have improved the attack detection algorithms to provide enhanced security.
