Macrium Reflect: Change default backup storage destination?

There is another, possibly better way.

Click on 'Create an image of the partition(s) required....' then click 'Advanced Options' at the bottom left. Here you can create a list of preferred locations, the one at the top of the list being the default....

Thanks, Bree. I'm finding it under "Alternative Locations" rather than "Advanced Options." I had tried that earlier, but it didn't want to work for me for some reason. At any rate, all is OK now and I'm a happier camper.

Just how I do things. I have always used Alternative locations. The reason is, I use different backup locations on purpose to assist in the event that the backup device has a hardware failure, or gets corrupted with a virus/malware etc. In the event of total failure, I can always copy the existing image file to another computer and use that to restore to a spare drive. Then insert that back into the main computer and be back to the date of that image. Backup devices are SSD, HDD, flash drive etc and I keep about 5 of the latest images on each and erase the older ones. I use the "folder" symbol to the right of Destination/Folder to choose where I will save the file. I can use the folder of choice multiple times by adding the time/date to file name. This has saved my "behind" many times when things go wrong when you least expect it.
