Macrium Relect 8 free- Multiple .xml files

Topic

New Reply

I use Macrium Reflect 8 Free, backup path is to an external drive exclusively for B/ups.

Anytime I want to make a new Full backup, (vs Differential, *Incremental not avail in free version*),  I have to ‘create a new image’, which results in multiple .Xml files in the docs/Reflect Folder. I name them during creation to avoid confusion.

Is this normal?

PS There is a new update avail (version 8.0.6758). If I update, do I have to create a new rescue usb? (mine uses RE, Win PE isn’t the default) If so, will it still make older backups avail for reinstall?

Deo,

If you named them and saved them (implied by naming them) then you should go to the “Backup Definition Files” tab and select the one you want to run and away you go.

I’m picking this up from my V-6 interface but I can’t believe they’ve change it that much so that this feature isn’t in the interface somewhere. Actually, just looked at a video on the Macrium site for V-8 and that tab is still there once you select Backup at the top left.

May the Forces of good computing be with you!

Thanks so much, you pointed me in the right direction!! The Backup Tab in upper right above icons doesn’t give ‘Definition options’.   I couldn’t figure out why the ‘Existing Backup’ tab under the icons only gave me option to choose ‘Diff/Incremental’ on a listed image there.

I found the ‘Definition Files’ (right side screen, 2nd tab above the drives listed on opening the program) and a double click on the .xml of choice easiest to use for Full bup. I’ll post a pic if helpful for others when on my PC.

Terrific, thx again:) Cleanup time for older b/ups as an odd VSS error popped up on one.
