Reflect Backup Files / Sets not Shown in Recovery Environment

I booted to the Macrium Recovery Environment for Reflect v8 for my PC which has a system drive C and another drive D for Reflect backups. I can browse to find the backup files on drive D in the recovery environment. However, when I add the path D:\Reflect Backups no backup files or sets are shown, Why is nothing shown when the files exist and the path is correct?

Update. I discovered the issue is that my backup drive has disk letter X which the Macrium Reflect environment uses as its boot drive letter. My drive X then gets reassigned to another letter. I have no problem if I choose a drive letter other than X. I reported the issue to Macrium.

Are you sure you do not have a backup - mounted as a virtual drive and therefore showing a random letter in your case X

No since I set the drive to be X:

I am sorry, I must be misunderstanding what your apparent problem that you have asked for help in the Macrium forum is.
If like me you have Macrium RE as a boot option in bcd

then the last entry for the boot loader shown on my mine is Macrium and as you see it is a ram disk - the letter allocated is usually X.

I will be interested to see the reply from the macrium experts.

Yes, I chose the worst drive letter which is X! Reflect should prevent users from using drive X or ensure their recovery drive boots to a drive not already in use.

I received this reply from Macrium:

Thanks for your feedback,

The letter "X" is for the RAM drive in the rescue media so Reflect expects not to have backups stored on it.

I understand your point and I have passed it onto our development team for evaluation.

Just to clarify, as a workaround don't use "X" as the backup drive letter.

The letter "X" is for the RAM drive in the rescue media so Reflect expects not to have backups stored on it.

as I said

Just to be contrary I now use Z and all is fine!

Good Yorkshire - phrasing there.

Thought it had to be the ramdrive letter.
Brilliant software IMHO = must be best of the free ones.
It has never let me down and has solved issues on multi boot systems more than once.
