Macrium Images can be moved anywhere, they are just files (Note that Macrium Image Guardian in the paid version will prevent you from doing this as part of its tamper protection and you would need to turn it off temporarily).
It is more difficult with Windows Backup images. They can be moved / renamed but they need to be in the original location before they can be restored.
Thanks -
Does Macrium assign a new filename to each image, or does it overwrite the old image like Windows images do?
With Windows images I change filenames on previous images before I create a new one so it doesn't get written over. Do I have to change these back to the default filename in order to use one?
No, Macrium does not overwrite older images unless you run out of room, that would be senseless.
It will even let you know and ask you if you want to overwrite any existing older images.
Macrium is the King and we highly recommend it here.
Hi Keith
Your Tiger looks very Happy
Here`s a shot of Kitty inspecting a package.
Going against Macriums default recommendation, I named my backup files to suit myself; what possible problems could that cause, if any ?
Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.
They also love large paper bags they can get into.
I don't use differential or incremental images (I also don't recommend them) so I can't speak from experience but I suspect you may be correct about them. I do assign names to my images (example: Before Glary, SAS Updates 01-10-2019) to make determining which one I need to use much easier. I never had a problem doing this (but, again, I don't use incremental or differential backups).
Your folder idea sounds like a good one.
