Windows 10: How can I monitor a running Macrium Reflect backup?

I run daily Macrium backups, using the grandparent, parent, child template. Once a month, a full backup runs, and it takes many hours. One is running today. At least I think its running. Here's the problem. There's an icon normally in the system tray which I believe is called ReflectMonitor.exe. When a backup is running, you can click it and watch the progress of the backup. But often, that icon disappears. When that happens, I do not know how to monitor the progress. So I watch the Macrium System Images directory on the drive where the backup is written. Today, after 8 hours, I still see And I do not see a Log for today's backup. Task Manager shows five Macrium processes running, and one of them is using a fair amount CPU, Disk, and Power. So is that a clue the backup is running? Is there a chance that one of these processes is the monitor? In C:\Program Files\Macrium\Common\ I see ReflectMonitor.exe. Is that the missing monitor? I hesitate to run it right now in case it messes up the backp. But if so, I will pin it to the taskbar and not depend on the frequently-disappearing icon in the system tray. Windows Version 10.0.19042

Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.

1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
   
   
   
4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
5. Boot up with your new HD.

 

Macrium Reflect Backup Failures

Macrium offers the option of verifying your images when they're created, if you check that box when creating your instruction file.








Otherwise, you could open Macrium, go to the restore tab, navigate to your most recent image and run Verify on it, to be sure it's good.

No, you must find the exact path that's listed in the RKILL log. Do you have show hidden files and folders enabled?

It is, and I can't tell from the Tweaking forum if he ever included reparse/junction fixes, but the guys at Bleeping Computer would know.
