Confused after initial install Macrium

Version 6.1 free

I first created and ran an image. During the process I could not figure out how to create a schedule for the backup. Since I had used none for template (no choice this being free) nothing was automatically placed in the add/edit schedules box/clicking the add schedule threw an error.

After completion I tried to edit the backup to add a schedule--no luck. I clicked Backup Definition Files tab (because I couldn't find where to display the image I just created), right clicked the one xml file figuring that file was the parameters I had selected for the initial image, selected schedule but that can't be right. When the Edit the Plan for this Backup comes up it has Definition backup plan in step #1, but if I click on Add Schedule in step #2 I have to choose among full, incremental, differential. Which makes no sense for the edit of an existing since my initial 'none' template used the default which is a combo of both full and differential.

Further, I see no way of viewing the image I created within Macrium. I'm thinking if I could view the image then I should be able to right click on it and modify.

Btw, I tried to run the video on Macrium you have here but couldn't get any sound.

whs said:

The image files are easy to view. Just double click on the image file for mounting that.

I always Started MR and browsed in MR to find an image to view (mount).
I just double clicked a MR image in Windows (file) Explorer, and it auto mounted the image for viewing.
Thanks for that tip, it's faster and simpler for me :)

Macrium is Acronis upside down as far as similarity of the UI and method to create an image job and that's likely giving me more headaches than necessary.

I double clicked the .xml file, it mounted and I could pull out any file I wish just as with Acronis. However, Macrium mounted the image to a virtual drive w a y faster than Acronis and I can do so directly at the image file instead of having to do so within the program.

However, your 'How to' link for scheduling is no help--maybe since your link is v5 and I've got v6? Or I'm just thick.

Link option 1: Click Scheduled Backups, Click 'New Scheduled Task' wizard--my icon is grayed out--not an option.

Link option 2: Right click xml, schedule, go to step 4. I have no step 4 (attached screen shot)

The free version must do a differential since their default screen that I was using was comprised of x # of Fulls and x # of Differentials.
