Windows 10: Misterium Macrium

I discovered today that I have several folders and subfolders in Thunderbird that have lost their contents At least one of the folders, which only had two entries, had them on 2May2021. In trying to find and restore my missing data, I discovered that I am missing much more than the folder contents: When I looked at Restore in Macrium Reflect, I found that the daily backups from 6March2021 until 05May2021 are gone. Given that I see notifications from Macrium every day as to what has been successfully backed up, this lacuna is dismaying. Just to add to my problem, as I almost never restore anything through Macrium, I found that I don't know how to extract just the desired Thunderbird data from either full or interim backups, and the printed help file is to me non-helpful. I tried to 'handel' this, after seeing a sign on a business this morning that stated that "panhandeling' [sic] in prohibited in their parking lot. I prefer listening to music by George Frederick Handel, who at least knew how to spell his last name.

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 Boot Question

Macrium Boot Question

I use Windows 10 and a Macrium recovery program. My BIOS is set where the optical disk for CDs and DVDs are not set to recognize a CD/DVD disc as the first priority to boot from.

What are the steps I should take to make my Macrium Rescue Disk as being first to boot from?

Thanks,

Jerry
