Solved Latest Macrium Reflect 8 updates


No, they haven't. I had the same problem in June.

The solution is to buy Macrium Reflect X - it can browse any image made in Reflect v8 and Reflect v10 (vX).

It's pretty cheap if you buy the 3yr licence. 79.90GBP / 170.86CDN

Macrium X
Another solution is to use viBoot which mounts the Reflect 8 backup as a virtual drive from where you can extract the files. The .vhdx file is located under C:\ProgramData\Macrium\viBoot

Ensure viBoot is installed. You have to use viBoot to boot a virtual machine from the Reflect backup file for the .vhdx file to appear from where you can copy your files.

Okay thanks. I misunderstood the concept of viBoot.

I am a bit puzzled what the latest fix means about being for new licences.

New MR8 licences are not being issued.

Is it a fix that allows activation of anl never used but already existing MR8 licence? I have at least two never used MT8 licences in my back pocket.
