Unfortunately we have just become aware that since release v71 v7.1.3147 on 17th April 2018 it was possible that Macrium Reflect could create corrupt and irreparable Incremental or Differential Image files. The problem occurs if the Macrium Changed Block Tracker (CBT) driver participates in the backup. By default, the CBT driver will participate in the second and subsequent Incremental or Differential Images of a backup set after a system reboot. If an image is affected then it is unlikely that it can be mounted and browsed successfully and restore will result in a corrupt file system.

Info
Note: Corrupt Image files will verify successfully using the Macrium Reflect verification function. The nature of this error is that key data was omitted from the image, the data that was backed up is not itself corrupt..
