Seems like this could catch people out, especially if they don't regularly check their backups. Reflect displays the postponement dialog at the scheduled time, but after that goes away, nothing further happens. And that issue was apparently fixed.Īnyone else seeing the behavior I just discovered and wrote up in this thread? Basically, since updating to, the scheduled task that runs my backup is showing that it's running successfully even though Reflect isn't actually running a backup. If you choose to start using another drive, then Reflect is supposed to delete the files on the drive you were using up until that point, but apparently that did not always happen. You can do this in Reflect under Edit Defaults > Advanced > Macrium Reflect PE files.

Reflect allows you to tell it to store those Rescue Media cache files on another drive. And if you use the Windows Boot Menu option, then that option just adds a boot option to your Windows boot menu that points to those cached files, so when you boot from the Reflect Rescue boot menu option, it's using those cached files. But as you can see, that folder contains the same files that end up on Rescue Media when you create it. The "xxx" part of the WAxxxFiles path will depend on the WinPE/RE version(s) you are using. By default, those files are stored on your C drive, specifically at C:\boot\macrium\WAxxxFiles\media. When you have Reflect build Rescue Media, it actually generates all of the Rescue Media files on your system first and then COPIES them onto whatever Rescue Media device you selected - and then it keeps those Rescue Media files on your system as a cache. Click to expand.It might help to see things for yourself, so I'll try that approach.
