Macrium Reflect 8 Update Discussion

cereberus said:

...The only semi-official way of getting M8 free currently is to download the trial version of Home, and after 30 days, the licence expires if you choose not to but a licence, then the installation reverts to the free version...

There is another way, if you have the paid-for v8 Home version. You can remove your licence key and downgrade it to Free.

Now that may not sound a very useful way to get v8 Free, but you can take a note of the Free licence key before reinstalling your Home key. Then you can install the v8 Trial on another machine, then go through the 'purchase' options to change its installed key to the Free key

Bug fixes and Improvements v8.0.6161 - 7th September 2021

General

We've added identification of external processes locking Macrium Reflect backup files when a sharing violation causes a failure in the backup or consolidation.

Note: Process names can only be identified if they originate on the local PC and are traceable.

We've added a 'Reveal' button to show the typed/entered password when browsing/verifying/restoring password protected or encrypted images.
We've added a backup overall progress percentage tooltip to Reflect Monitor taskbar system tray icon
Localization

We've added Japanese localization support. The Japanese language will be automatically selected at install time for Japanese Windows installations.
Take 'Other Tasks' > 'Defaults and Settings' > 'Advanced' > 'Language' to change language for an existing installation after patching.

I should have read this before I updated it.

" I should have read this before I updated it ".........so, you mean ; not worth updating , no point skipping this one ?

I am not Japanese and do not need the updates. So yes for me, that was exactly what I meant.

Seems to me that some of this can be useful, even if you're not using Japanese language. My backups use consolidation & I do use password encryption (of course, if I forget my password, I can't get to the screen that would allow me to reveal it).

I agree ....so I installed it also.
