Do I need to create new rescue CD when I update Macrium from v6>v7?

Just updated Macrium from v6>v7

Do I need to create a new rescue CD? Would there be some change in the v7 Macrium not recognising the rescue CD I created with v6 Macrium?

If this makes sense?

Many thanks!

It is the other way round - the V6 CD will not restore V7 backups.

You must upgrade.

My experience has been that any MR7 USB or DVD can restore any MR6-made image; and any MR7 residing on the HD can read any MR6-made image off of any external media.

Wait so hang on, I havent created any images of my SSD using the v7 yet
But once I create a full image of my SSD with the new v7 Macrium, IF I need to restore using the v6 CD, it will not restore the new v7 backup?

No - restore drives are backward compatible not forward compatible. A v7 cd will restore v6 images but not vice versa.

In fact, this often applies if v7 is upgraded as well. To avoid issues, I always update rescue drive each time an update comes out. I only use flash drives.

OP is talking about using a V6 Rescue drive to restore a V7 image. This is not possible.

I was hoping my post indicates the same thing you indicated -- MR6 cannot restore an MR7-made image.

It says MR7 drive can restore MR6 images (true) but does not say anything about reverse direction.
