Macrium Reflect Update:

Updated on the 22nd January. You can "upgrade" your current version from within Macrium.

The main improvement for me is a new right click context menu option to "unmount" an Image which you've mounted as a drive.

This was only possible before from within the program, or rebooting.

Darn; thought you were going to say they'd FINALLY released V5 :(

Thanks for the news anyway ;)

Notice that in the change log if you use the Linux rescue CD you'll need to burn a new one:

What's new? v4.2.2376:

Compatibility with disks that have sector sizes greater than 512 bytes

Reflect can now image and restore to disks with sector sizes greater than 512 bytes. Partitions can also be restored to a disk with a different sector size to the original. This is included in an update to the Linux, BartPE and Windows PE rescue CDs.

Log file purge

New option in defaults to purge log files older than a user defined period. The purge can optionally be set to run when Reflect starts.

Unique Disk ID used to remember partiton location

To prevent problems when Windows enumerates disks with different disk numbers, Reflect now references the unique Disk ID, instead of the disk number when creating a disk image. The Disk ID is also shown in the main Window drive list and saved in the XML file.

Unmount an image in Windows Explorer

New right click option in Windows Explorer to unmount a disk image.

Pre and post shadow copy script - Windows Server only

It's now possible to run batch files pre and post shadow copy creation. Create a batch file in the same directory as the XML file using the following file name convention:

<XML File Name>_before_snapshot.vbs / .exe / .bat

<XML File Name>_before_snapshot_wait.vbs / .exe / .bat

<XML File Name>_after_snapshot.vbs / .exe / .bat

<XML File Name>_after_snapshot_wait.vbs / .exe / .bat

Note: The 'wait' suffix will wait for the batch file to return before continuing with the backup.

Update to the Linux rescue CD v2.1.2376

Linux rescue CD now enumerates a greater number of external drives.

Bug fixes:

Reflect now enumerates more than 10 disks

Disks available for imaging were excluded from Reflect if the drive number in the disk management console exceeded 10. This has been resolved.

Partition alignment problem when restoring to an unpartitioned disk the same size as the original.

The newly created partition would always be aligned on a cylinder boundary regardless of whether the original was a vista (1MB Aligned) partition or not. This has been fixed
