Solved Macrium oddities...!

"How the heck did you achieve that?!! ".
I which I know !!!
I can assure you that if I try to make a Macrium_PE Rescue Media in a USB flash or in a CD/DVD I will not see step4 and the drivers subfolders are empty :-(

"Maybe the test image is corrupt!?
What error message did you get when it failed? "

No error message, simply you can´t! You click in the image then if you try to restore it, the only possible destination is C (the ssd)!
I tested it myself (I only have usb2.0)
You can make backups and restore from same physical disk (if different image is in partition). Works when macrium reflect is run from usb, harddisk and cd.

But now my problem... I made an macrium reflect rescue on usb harddrive. Then I added some network drivers to \drivers\network
And they weren't loaded automatically!! Only when I did "other tasks" (or was it tools)-> "view unsupported devices" and did a scan.

Pretty strange

Yes, it works on when plugged via usb2! Not via usb3!

Yes, strange!
Do you have the free version too?

I think they want us to buy the paid version :-). (which is fair...I mean the paid should have more functionalities)

You told me before: it works finally... but not from usb image to usb partition.
So you can read the usb3.0 drive and restore to internal harddisk.

You can restore to usb from usb image (usb2.0)! I did it a few hours ago from rescue CD. Can you try that?

And do the same when attached to usb3.0

Only interesting stuff for me is:
Differential and Incremental backups. But I have lots of free space.
Restore to dissimilar hardware. But I can inject new drivers needed prior to making backup as well. Of course not if motherboard fails all of sudden and have to buy new motherboard.
