Macrium Reflect v4.2.2866 Program Update

mitchell64 · 30 Jul 2010

Date 30th July 2010, This update is 7.6mb through the program updater
Release notes below;

What's new? v4.2.2866:

New Command line image mounting options.
You can now mount and unmount image and backup files from the command line. Please type 'reflect.exe -h' from a command line for more information on this functionality.

Unrestricted mounted image browsing
Previously, if an image that was created on a different PC was browsed then 'private' folders couldn't be accessed. This is because NTFS security prevents, even Administrators, from accessing these folders and files. The 'Browse Image' dialog now allows this by enabling the new option 'Enable access to restricted folders' .

Windows PE rescue CD update is available.
Please click the 'Updates' button in the Rescue CD burn wizard for more information.
Bug fixes:

Apple Mac hybrid disks
Macrium Reflect now correctly identifies and allows imaging of Apple Mac 'hybrid' disks. These were incorrectly displayed as GPT disks after the last update.

DOS batch file fix
Fixed bug in DOS bat file generation. Previously the generated bat file would not run because it was generated as a Unicode, not ANSI, file.

Case sensitive file name extensions
The '.mrimg' and 'mrbak' file name extensions were case sensitive when mounting the file. This meant that changing the file name of the generated file to be upper-case could result in the file failing to mount. This has been resolved.

Program crash if VSS failed to provide a shadow copy name
A program crash could occur if Microsoft Volume Shadow copy Service (VSS) completed successfully but failed to allocate a name for the shadow copy file. This has been resolved.

Wouldn't update for me yesterday. Tried again tonight and got it. :)

If you're using the WinPE boot disk option, it provides an update for that as well.

Just go to the option for building rescue CDs, check the WinPE option, and will search for the version you have, offering to download and update it.

I used to use ATI Home to do all my image backup and recovery, but when the latest (2010) version killed networking on an XP SP3 machine, I went over to MR -- and have never regretted it.

Up to now I have not updated my version because sometimes they require you to reburn your Recovery CD. It may be wise to check whether the old recovery CD still works. For that I make a mock-up partition with some data and make an image with the new version and test my old CD. One day I will do that.

For unforeseen circumstances i had to restore to an image yesterday and used a LINUX disk i burnt from the version before the last update & there was no problems. (But would recommend burning a new disk anyway, lol " I should listen to my own advice")
