New Macrium Reflect Updates [2]

The update from version 8.0.x to version 8.1, more precisely 8.1.7280, is available for Macrium Reflect. As Macrium writes, the imaging code has been rewritten and the speed of creating disk images has been significantly improved.

A new parallel pipeline implementation for reading, writing and processing of data such as hashing, compression, encryption is used and thereby optimized. “This increases the resource usage by Reflect, e.g. For example, compression and encryption try to use all CPU cores. The user can control the resource/bandwidth allocation for Macrium Reflect to prioritize other applications.”

However, the improvement in speed can be canceled out by a slow backup disk or slow network connections. There are also other improvements and corrections in this version. The rescue medium (not only) under Windows 10 should be recreated. Windows PE 10 has been updated to the 2004 version.

viBoot: VirtualBox VMs were sometimes not displayed in the viBoot GUI. This has been fixed.
Imaging: When reading some Bitlocker volumes, Reflect could try to allocate an incorrectly large block of memory. This issue has been resolved.
System restore: When deploying a system restore from Windows, an automatic restart sometimes did not occur after the restore in the rescue environment was completed. This issue has been resolved.
Macrium Image Guardian: During data deduplication on Windows Server, the File Server Data Management Host (FSDMHOST.EXE) process was prevented from opening reflect image files. This issue has been resolved.
General: Lower than actual write speed values ​​were displayed in the "Disk Write Performance" tool. This issue has been resolved.
Rescue media: We have updated the Windows PE 10 download to version 2004.
viBoot: We added VirtualBox 7.0 support to viBoot.

Hmm, I'm still not seeing 8.1 available. I guess that I will just sit tight until it shows up for me.

Really love Reflect. One of my favorite programs.
