Macrium Reflect question

I'm using Macrium Reflect Standard Edition 5.3 and wanting to backup an image of my laptop hard drive to two different external hard drives.

Now usually when I create an image for the first time and save it to an external drive I let it create an XML Backup Definition File. Once done I then right click on it and create a desktop shortcut.

By saving the image to two different external drives I couldn't use the My Backup.xml shortcut feature correct? If I did I (and that's even if MR wouldn't even allow it) wouldn't I have two XML files and be confusing to MR? Or possibly you could use one for one external drive but not the other?

I understand you don't need to use the XML shortcut just kind of handy.

Dang I didn't think of that! Also if you wanted since they would be named different couldn't you still go ahead and create a desktop shortcut for each?

whs said:

You can create a shortcut of the xml file, but it won't do anything for you. It will just display the content of the xml file. The xml files are in your Documents folder. The folder is called Reflect.

If you ever want to delete one, do it in the Reflect folder. If you delete it in the Macrium window, it will still stay in the Reflect folder.

Whs I've always been able to execute a backup via the desktop shortcut.

Thank you both whs & Lady Fitzgerald once explained it's like why didn't I think of that.
