The first thing I hear when turning on the PC are disks spinning up, but there is no disk chatter (indicating disk activity) until some time after that. Good explanation, thank you.

How do I tell when it is in the Post sequence? What will the screen look like?

Following up on your advice, I made new rescue Media on a USB stick just to make sure it was up-to-date. It may be that my PC will automatically boot from the USB stick if it is plugged in at boot...

You are absolutely correct to give that advice. I have retrieved old versions of files from my backups many times, but have never restored the OS from an image or booted from the Rescue Media....

Yes! I had that box checked, and now I have unchecked it for all three backup types.

The only question now is: If the scheduled start time is 9:00 am I don't turn on my PC until 9:01 am, will...

The key point in the OP is that I did not turn on my PC on Monday, so no backup ran (if it had run, it would have been another full backup). But today is Tuesday. Why is Macrium trying to run a full...

So how do I get back it on schedule?

I run backups on a schedule defined in a Backup Definition File: Incremental backups every day of the week ... except ... Differential backups every Monday ... except ... Full backups the first...

I'm looking at "Select which icons appear on the taskbar."

As you can see, the slide switch is on. There is no > symbol after the slide switch. I think you may be referring to some other...

The "Macrium Reflect Disk Imaging and Backup" slide switch is turned On and it has always been turned on. Unfortunately, its only effect is to make a Macrium icon appear in the system tray when a...

I am trying to set up email notification using my gmail SMTP settings, but the email is always rejected by the server regardless of what combination of email server fields I try. For example......

I'm watching the backup again today. The icon appears on the taskbar, where I moved it yesterday. So Windows did remember my preference!

Thank you. I watched the backup closely today. The icon does indeed show in the notification area, but only when the backup is running. Unfortunately, it's in the "hidden icons." If I drag it onto...

The backup runs automatically on a daily schedule. So there is no "running" window. If I launch the main Macrium Reflect application, it has no idea that one of its backups is currently running.

Today while the backup was running, the ReflectMonitor.exe icon appeared in the notification area (where I quickly dragged it to the taskbar) and also at top of "Select which icons appear on the...

That's the one I want (the one that shows when a backup is running). Thanks for the reset notification area icons fix. I'll try it!

If I open taskbar settings and then "select which icons appear on the taskbar" the list appears to be corrupted. For example, there are eight calling themselves Macrium. Seven of them have a...

I believe it will only show progress if you use it to manually start a backup. My backups run on schedule. So when I pinned the shortcut to my taskbar just now, it does not show progress, as in your...

I run daily Macrium backups, using the grandparent, parent, child template. Once a month, a full backup runs, and it takes many hours. One is running today. At least I think its running. Here's...

It did not indicate any problems:

I downloaded and installed it, thanks.

Thanks. I didn't know about Disk Management. Disk Management apparently doesn't use the same numbering system [harddisk5\DR5]. It refers to the drive in question as "Disk 3"

I posted here a year...

I hear frequent USB disconnect sounds, and I suspect one of my external USB drives is the problem (WD 8TB Elements Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive) because it sometimes happens during a Macrium...

That's good -- if you can remember to do it.

Yes, I walk through those four or five screens and I don't change anything. On the last screen, I click Finish. Then Macrium asks me what kind of backup I want to run, and I choose Full. Now it...

In Add/Edit Schedules, I select Full, then click Conditions... The first box was already checked ("Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed"). So the question is: why didn't...
