And yet another update
Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5289 - 16th October 2020

Changed Block Tracker
On some systems, CBT could execute the wrong notification handler in response to a malformed notification. This could result in the following bug checks: MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS, KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE or ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY. This has now been resolved.
Macrium Task Scheduler
- Scheduled VBScript files could fail with error code 0xC1 instead of running. This has been resolved.
- The German language

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5321 - 3rd November 2020

Macrium Task Scheduler
- If a scheduled backup was missed without the option 'Run the task as soon as possible after a scheduled task is missed' enabled, then the Run Now button would stop working until the PC was restarted. This has been resolved.
- Scheduled backups running on startup were starting too quickly, without giving network connections time to initialise. This has been resolved.
- The Macrium Task Scheduler now keeps extra copies of its internal configuration files to prevent failure on corruption.
- When trying to import a scheduled task with a definition file path that doesn't exist, Reflect will now prompt to Browse for a different definition file.
Rescue Media Builder
The Windows Version of the WinRE kernel could be incorrectly displayed. This has been resolved.
Reflect Monitor
ReflectMonitor.exe could fail to launch at logon and prevent notification of running backups. This has been resolved.
Backup Log
A Consolidation 'Warning' error could override a 'Failure' error for a backup and incorrectly display a Warning icon instead of Error. This has been resolved.
License Key
We've added 'copy' functionality for the license key displayed in the About dialog

New update
Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5550 - 18th January 2021

Macrium Task Scheduler
- Under Edit Defaults > Scheduler, we've added a checkbox to prevent the system from sleeping while scheduled scripts are running. Sleep is always prevented while the backup itself is being taken, but this checkbox will also prevent sleep while the rest of the script is running.
- When waking the computer from sleep, or booting up when Windows Fast Boot is enabled, missed scheduled backups would start running immediately without giving the user time to log in and view the Postpone Backup pop-up message. This has been resolved.
- On some desktops, the 'Start the task only if the computer is on AC power' option would prevent scheduled backups from running even though no battery was present. This has been resolved.
Rescue Media
If the ProgramData folder and the Reflect installation folder were on different drives, then Reflect would be unable to download Windows PE. This has been resolved.
Backup_running
A failed backup, due to power failure or removing the target drive, could cause the next backup to fail by detecting, but not deleting, the 'backup_running' mutex file. This has been resolved.
viBoot
viBoot can now handle images of system disk with 4K sectors.
Retention Purge
"Run purge before backup" could cause the current set Full backup to be purged when running a Diff or Inc. This has been resolved.
MIG - Server Plus
SQL backups to MIG protected network shares is now supported.

I just updated Macrium on my laptop and it updated to 5555 where as my desktop is at 5550
But there is no need for English system users to go to 5555 if already updated to 5550, nor is there a path other than a repair install with the newest installer.

19th January 2021

Bug fixes and Improvements v7.3.5555

Macrium Task Scheduler - Unsupported Operation
The German language version of Macrium Reflect v7.3.5550 reports the error "Attempted an unsupported operation" when taking the Defaults > Scheduler menu option
.Note: This release will not patch English versions of Macrium Reflect from v7.3.5550. English language versions at v7.3.5550 are unaffected by this release.

As a brand new user to Macrium (new PC and my old version of Acronis won't work with newest 10), I just want to confirm that the new version will work with images from previous (I ass-u-me they will). I have yet to test restoring an image

Macrium is generally good about working with older backups made with Macrium, but I haven't seen a hard cut-off (not that I've ever actually looked) that it will not restore from.

A Guy · May 21, 2021

That sounds rather iffy

Had to go looking in the KB where I normally do not look:

Upgrade FAQ - Knowledgebase 8.0 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase

knowledgebase.macrium.com

Can v8 read and restore images created with Macrium Reflect v6 or v7?

Yes, v8 is backwards compatible with all Images and File and Folder backups created with earlier versions of Macrium Reflect.

Click to expand...

So at the very least, backward compatible to v6.
