You only need the recuse media if you cannot get into Windows. I update it every time MR updates.
Hi,
Yes and you can do that for any external drive that's used for backup too.
Just create a smallish fat32 partition of say 512Mb , the rest can be and should ideally be Ntfs. Let MR create a rescue iso, mount it and copy it to your Fat32 partition.
That's all it takes for UEFI systems.
Make sure it boots and that's the end of that.
Cheers,
Your 1st lines were this "It is not always essential to do it" That is why I said I don't agree, as some people could read your statement and figure its not necessary to update their recovery files or their USB stick. MR Always has NEW Updated PE files on every new update / patch !! Period. This last one WAS a Patch, and STILL needed the PE files updated. :)
Bit of hassle trying to do the differential back up...
Tried 3 times and it just froze twice, so I cancelled it, 3rd time said 55 hours and did nothing, cancelled again now running and saying 15 mins... not sure if it is my newish PC,my backup drive or Macrium now... I have changed USB port now as well...
Very odd, flying along now... down to 10 mins
Is there anything I should do to Kaspersky? I did read this can cause issues, or am I just expecting too much?
Looks to me that MR doesn't keep WinPE but just downloads it again every time a rescue USB/disk is made. I updated rescue USB only when MR update told me to and it never missed a beat.
