Macrium shows a red partition when making a backup of my new SSD , with four partitions on it.
Its a brand new installation of Win11 , latest ; 21H2 22000.376 , on a new PC.
The OS is on the SSD , not the red one , but one of the other three is red .
Any idea what this means ??
Windows runs fast , no problems , never seen this before with my Macrium resque-media !
Could you provide a screenshot of what you see in Macrium as well as from what disk management sees?
Follow-up: I'm going to take a guess, but I seem to recall something like this from the corner of my mind. Could it be that the partition in question is low on free space? I seem to recall seeing this when less than some set percentage of space is available, but again, this is only a guess.
"low on free space"..........yes, thought so !
Will take photo , maybe I can remove this very small partition ..........
Just opened a partitionviewer ; this red partition is a recovery partition with 595MB and 53MB free space .
Should I remove it ?
Seems you are right !
Rec.part. is 595MB , 53MB free
FAT32 ,EFI,system , 100MB
OS ,465GB ,Data
Reserved (?) , not formatted, 16MB.............this is a view of the 4 SSD-partitions , with one shows red .
Is this normal behaviour ; only 53MB free on a recovery-partition ?

The recovery partition is there for troubleshooting and help restoring Windows. I could remove both that I have (dual booting) as I'm using Macrium but as they take so little space I just leave alone.
