MR8

T J · 18 Feb 2022

I previously made a new Macrium Reflect rescue disc CD-R each time there was a new Macrium Reflect update. Since there seems to be several MR8 software updates lately, I switched to a MR8 rescue USB thumb drive.

1) Can I use MR8 to just overwrite the old 'rescue USB' files on my USB rescue USB?
2) Or do I need to delete ALL the old rescue files on the MR8 rescue USB, then proceed?

TIA (W10, 21H2, MR8 paid)

You don't need to erase. When you make the Rescue Media, Macrium erases the USB stick automatically, and then creates the new Rescue Media.
