Macrium question
A Macrium image of C: generally contains several partitions. When I make a change in (one of) the partitions (size or number) in C:, are older Macrium images still usable?

You can recover individual partitions. You can also mount any partition in a Reflect image as a virtual drive and copy files / folders.
Normally if your PC is unbootable you will need to recover all partitions to your system drive including the hidden system partitions.
I recommend at each backup session: make a full image of each hidden partition and the OS partition. When you have to restore the OS partition, you restore the hidden partitions also -- finally, you then reboot.
Thanks for reactions, but maybe my question was not clear enough.
If a Macrium image contains several (also hidden) partitions, is it necessary for a recovery that the disk, to be recovered, has the same number of partitions with the same sizes or are the partitions in the image automatically substituted?
Thanks, that is what I wanted to know. I use Macrium regularly, but never modified the partitions on my disk.
