Windows 10: Reason for delay in Macrium Reflect Free V7

Just seen this on Macrium Forum. Mind you it might as well have been written in High Vulcan for all I understand it - LOL.

What is interesting is implication that they are going to jump to 7.1 directly with free version?

Apologies for the delay. Macrium Reflect v7.1 (including the Free Edition) is still undergoing thorough testing will be released when we are satisfied. The delay was caused by increasing the scope of Macrium Image Guardian to cater for protected volumes accessed over the network and the technical challenge of improving viBoot by designing and implementing our own virtual disk provider for MS .VHDX files. Given the increased technical complexity we are performing additional in-depth testing.

Thanks for your patience


Kind Regards

To protect against malware and ransomware I suppose, so they want to make sure it works right.

same here, if Windows gets compromised.

These will be good for people, who don't make backups to an external disk(or an internal that they can take offline).

I make a total system image(all 3 SSDs) after version upgrades, but make all other images after major software updates, after patch Tuesday, or before I decide to muck around in the system.

 

This works superbly as is right now. Take your time, guys! *Smile

 

Ah - it is only in normal Vulcan now rather than High Vulcan.
With GIB, the files will live long and prosper .

 

So does my v.6 free edition, I mean it does exactly what I need it for(a complete disk image with verification, no bells, no whistles, and no incremental/differential).

 

Yeah - I am not really sure what V7 brings to the table in the Free version. It seems MS have decided MRF V7.1 will be released when V7 MRH etc is released i.e. no V7.0.

 

Oh well, I haven't tried or played around with viBoot yet, so when the free 7 version comes out, maybe I'll give it a spin.
Might be interesting to just update/upgrade my Windows system image for my 3rd pc that's stored away, without having to pull the actual PC out every time I decide to finally do it.

 

Microsoft is now releasing Macrium software? *Shock

Just yanking your chain! *chuckle

 

Actually PS is correct: Paramount Software UK Limited 2017 Macrium Reflect

 

you're correct, but cereberus said MS, not PS.

 

You can install viboot now and use it with v6 images. The so called viboot integration basically only amounted to a link inside Macrium rather than using a normal shortcut.

You need PRO of course to run Hyper-V.

 

Regrettably MS are going to buy PS - didn't you know :-(.

Just kidding - I hope......
