    Macrium: When do I need to re-create bootable rescue media?


    I see there is a Macrium 7.3 update available (5672).

    1. I read here that some Macrium changes require rebuilding the bootable rescue media environment. How do I know what Macrium changes require rebuilding the rescue media? I assume that I don't need to do this after installing the 5672 update, but you know what they say about "assume".

    2. If I DO have to rebuild the rescue media after some Macrium change, do I need to keep the previous rescue media too, if I want to be able to restore from an older system image made before the Macrium changes? (example, say I want to restore to nearly-pristine earlier image)

    3. Off-subject a little bit, but while I'm here... I read here about making a Macrium system image on a USB stick drive as opposed to external platter or SSD drive. But I saw many responses saying you should not back up to a stick drive. That it's much better to use an external hard drive. But no one explained why a stick drive is bad. Seems like a great idea, for throwing in a bank box for offsite. And no concerns about all those I/O heads flying around at light speed just 4 nanometers above my precious platter data, just waiting to crash my hard drive, especially if I'm jostling back and forth to offsite. So why USB stick bad, USB external HD good? Is stick unreliable? Is it a write/read speed thing?

    4. Lastly just want to shout out thanks to Ghot and SIW2 for their great guidance in my earlier (and first) post here. Based on their great help, I installed Macrium, built my rescue media, made my system backup, gulped and did a test system restore (gotta know it works). It was flawless! Many thanks!

    Creating rescue media with Macrium Reflect

    Building rescue media means e.g. you are creating a bootable flash drive to boot to Macrium reflect.
    What did you expect the bootable rescue medium to be created on?

    MR will not create a partition on your internal drive as part of that process.

    The first screenshot looks like MBR, the second, UEFI. Is that what you expect?

    Macrium: When do I need to re-create bootable rescue media?

    Creating rescue media with Macrium Reflect

    I just ran Macrium Reflect to build rescue media on a Windows 10 laptop. In Other Tasks -> Create Rescue Media, I selected Windows Boot Menu, checked Add boot menu, and clicked Build.

    After the operation ended successfully, I looked to see if Macrium had created a new partition on this drive:

    It looks like nothing changed. Shouldn't I see a new partition?

    Meanwhile, on my desktop PC, after building rescue media in the same way, I see this:
