No, that isn't. An image, which is just one file, contains the backup of as many partitions as you want (all of them usually), and there's no need to partition the backup disk at all, other than, obviously, having one big enough to fit as many images as you want to keep.


I didn’t know that - thanks. :)

This tutorial will show you how to restore Windows from a backup image created with Macrium Reflect. There are two reasons for doing this: either to replace a disk, or to return a disk to an earlier point-in-time. In this video we are restoring to an earlier point-in-time.

We have assumed a system image has already been created. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs8tu...

The holiday season has come early - get our incredible software for half the price! We only offer a discount this big once a year, so if you’ve been thinking about upgrading to Reflect 7 Home Edition, now is definitely the time.

I recently upgraded from v7 to v8 as they offered me a 50% discount.
I've just got some alerts from the YT channel with some added tutorials for the new features in v8...https://www.youtube.com/c/Macrium/videos

Me too (well, getting on for 4 weeks ago now). Very pleased with it. Here is the 'What's New' page in the v8 knowledgebase.

https://knowledgebase.macrium.com/displ ... ersion+8+0

At the moment Reflect Free is still v7. Macrium have said they expect to release Reflect v8 Free about 90 days after the release of of the paid-for v8 Home (so that would be the second half of August). But you can get it a bit earlier by trying the v8 30-day trial version - it will revert to v8 Free at the end of the trial.

If for whatever reason you decide it isn’t right for you, any backups you create during the trial will still be accessible as the software reverts to Reflect Free.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm running Macrium Reflect Home v7 (licensed). I've not seen an e-mail nudge for Macrium Reflect v8 (yet, have checked spam but nothing, last e-mail one was in Feb 2021 for Macrium Reflect v7). Maybe it'll be along shortly. I did a "Other tasks / Check for updates" and it's still offering v7, no mention about v8. Full price seems to be £50 (https://www.macrium.com/products/home); think I'll wait for a nudge email hopefully with a discount :-) then I'll be happy to update.

I bought the full fat version (7) about a year ago. Whilst running it ~ last month, a prompt appeared to download v8, with the admonition to rebuild the recovery usb. So I’m surprised you’ve not had the same.

I also have a paid for version 7 but had not seen the version 8 update. However, it would appear that was because I hadn't taken the last few patch updates, on the basis that an earlier one messed up my scheduled backups. I just updated to the latest patch level and it has immediately told me about offers to upgrade to V8.

With the MR updates they tend to issue fixes to dodgy ones pretty quickly - so my MO is to not update immediately, leave it a week or so and any update bugs should have been fixed - there's threads here that follow it all in minute detail. ;)

Go here, enter the email address you used on your v7 order and your v7 licence key. It will tell you your upgrade options. A free v8 upgrade is offered for v7 keys purchased on or after 22nd November 2020, for keys purchased before that a 50% discount will be offered. Purchased v6 keys are also eligible for a discount.

Thanks for all the useful pointers.
I updated to the latest patch of v7 (Home, licensed) and then got "Macrium Reflect v8 is now available and can be purchased with an upgrade discount". 50% discount was applied (same as via https://portal.macrium.com/renewalwizard1). Updated to v8 & went fine. All happy.
Think I always knew Paramount/Macrium were English, but delighted to see they're in Manchester!
