We regularly release software updates, which can be accessed through binary patches and complete installer packages automatically downloaded within the Macrium Reflect application. This guide provides detailed information on the URLs and the naming conventions for these files. This is designed to help in configuring Internet security systems and firewalls for optimal protection and accessibility.
Patch and Installer File Names
We release binary patches to update the last 3 released versions of Macrium Reflect. The format of a patch filename is:
patch<from-major>.<from-minor>.<from-build>-<to-major>.<to-minor>.<to-build><architecture><edition>.exe
e.g, patch8.1.7771-8.1.7895x6420.exe
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| from-major | Currently installed major release number. The current major release is v8 |
| from-minor | Currently installed minor release number. The current minor release number is 1 |
| from-build | Currently installed build number. Each release has an incrementing build number, where higher numbers are more recent. |
| to-major | Patch target major release number. |
| to-minor | Patch target minor release number. |
| to-build | Patch target build number |
| architecture | x86 or x64 (32 or 64 bit) installation of Macrium Reflect |
| edition | The installed edition of Macrium Reflect |
The full patch URL is of the format:
https://download.macrium.com/reflect/v<major>/v<major>.<minor>.<build>/<patch-file-name>
e.g, https://download.macrium.com/reflect/v8/v8.1.7847/patch8.1.7784-8.1.7847x6420.exe
If the installed release is more than 3 patch releases out of date, or if there is a new minor or major build, then a full installer executable is downloaded instead of a patch file:
https://download.macrium.com/reflect/v<major>/v<major>.<minor>.<build>/<editon>_setup_<architecture>.exe
e.g. https://download.macrium.com/reflect/v8/v8.1.7847/reflect_server_setup_x64.exe
Tags different from the patch file name:
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| edition | Currently installed Macrium Reflect edition: home wkstn server server_plus |
