Backup Macrium Reflect Program Settings Guys. I could probably keep looking through the Registry myself, but if you already know, it will save me doing it. I have looked under these keys below, but it didn't seem to be right. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macrium\Reflect\Settings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\macrium\reflect\Settings HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macrium\Reflect\Settings So, my question is: What do I need to do to backup my Macrium Reflect program settings?
Re: Backup Macrium Reflect Program Settings Hi Stigg, Aren't your settings located in OS Drive, which is already being backup by Macrium Reflect and AX64? Maybe, the program settings are in "My Documents" on a different drive, which then should be backup as part of your Data Drive. Best regards, Mohamed
Re: Backup Macrium Reflect Program Settings Hi Mohamed. I would like to be able to easily setup another computer by simply copying the program settings backup. Or if I decide to do a clean install of the OS.
Re: Backup Macrium Reflect Program Settings Hi Stigg, I see. You have to ask MarcP to determine where these settings are located at. He is the expert on this. I would also like to know the answer to this. I know that under "My Documents > Reflect", some of the settings are kept there, but I am not sure if all the settings are kept there. Check the above location to see what settings you have there? Best regards, Mohamed
Re: Backup Macrium Reflect Program Settings Mohamed. That is the Backup Definition Files default folder, but I don't know where the program settings are stored. I will keep looking or maybe MarcP will come along. I think that Macrium should implement a settings backup feature into Reflect.
Use the free version & thankfully it saved my system after removing AMD graphics drivers caused Windows 7 to get stuck in a startup repair loop. Safe mode & Last Known Good didn't work, had a 6 day old backup from Macrium Free & restored that. Since the above a backup is created every night by booting the rescue USB & backing up system drive. I like the fact that I can use the WinPE 4.0 (windows 8 based) to restore Windows 7.... oh the irony
Does "Last Known Good Configuration" Ever Work? In all the years I have worked on computers, I have never had "Last Known Good Configuration" work for me.
Re: Backup Macrium Reflect Program Settings What settings exactly you're trying to backup? Different things are stored in different places. For example, backup jobs are stored as files on your machine. The schedule is stored with Windows Task Scheduler.
Re: Backup Macrium Reflect Program Settings It's not that easy. The registry settings has information specific to your particular hardware and identity of disks. You can't simply copy that to another machine (or would not validate the serial number anyway). The PE files may or may not be stored in the same location. I don't think you can do that manually by yourself without breaking something. Even if you just reinstall Windows on the same machine, the disks may be enumerated in a different order.
Re: Backup Macrium Reflect Program Settings Hi MarcP, Thanks for your expert answer, I also thought along the same lines, but needed your confirmation. If one needs to move Macrium Reflect license from one computer to another computer, then one needs to deactivate the license from the program itself from the old computer and then move the same license to the new computer. Best regards, Mohamed
Re: Macrium Reflect Program Settings Backup Hi guys. All I am asking for are Program Settings backup. Some of the settings that are found in "Edit Defaults". The actual program settings in Macrium Reflect that I have changed on each computer. Think of it just like any other program that you want to backup the settings for. I have done it on many programs over the years. I am not looking to transfer licenses or image backups or anything like that. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. I am pretty sure I can find them for myself. I just thought I would save myself the time if someone else had already done it. Cheers!
Re: Macrium Reflect Program Settings Backup I don't think there's an easy way to do this. You might have to do this manually with trial and errors. These settings are mixed with other Macrium stuff in the registry. Best thing would be to ask them on their forums. They are very responsive the majority of times. I personally have never done this before. I just bit the bullet and configured my 4 machines individually.
Mohamed did you try and test Active@ Disk Image Professional v5 last version? thanks happy new year to everyone!
For the time being, I am placing Macrium above AX64 for one reason: Multi-drive support. AX64 doesn't support multiple drives yet (I have OS on C: and apps on D: ) so I'm using AX64 for the snapshot capability and Macrium for the daily "whole system backup". However, AX64 is *this* close to steal the crown. They just need to push it just a bit farther.
As I said... I have the OS on drive C: and my apps in drive D:. Multi-drive support would be the ability to backup both drives at the same time. AX64 can't do that yet.
Macrium Reflect 0x01 Error I have Macrium Reflect to do a full backup on the 1st of every month and a differential backup on the Friday of every week. I also have Macrium Reflect to keep a maximum of 2 full images and to run the purge before the image. On the 01/01/2014, I noticed that there was no image made, so I went into Scheduled Backups and noticed that the Full Backup had a 0x01 Error on the 01/01/2014. I did some Googling and it mentioned something about having full access to my temp folder, which I have. I even run the test that Macrium linked to. After more Googling, I noticed an old Macrium Support Forum post about the purge before image fails resulting in this error. This is the first time this has happened and the first time that Macrium has had to purge. Could it be the purge that is the problem, and if so, how do I fix it?
An error in the scheduler is something reported by Windows Scheduler. If you want to know what went wrong from Macrium's perspective, check the Macrium logs. The scheduler error code is often meaningless.
The other day I was paying attention to AX64's 1.4.0.19 update and saw when I was heading toward choosing my backup destination that all 4 of my drives were listed as options to back up...got really excited...then realized it was just an option to choose one of the drives. But...could we choose our data drives and do manual backups when desired without screwing up the C: OS/program drives automatic backups?
I have reported it on the Macrium forum. I have sent Nick some data and I am yet to hear back yet. I will report what is found.
Mohamed - From your comment above, can I assume that CASPER is compatible with AX64? And if so, have you tested CASPER's reliability when co-existing with AX64 (i.e. booted off a CASPER-generated clone or restored from a CASPER image)?
