We've integrated our own scheduler into Macrium Service to replace the default Windows Task Scheduler (WTS). WTS has been the only method for scheduling Macrium Reflect backups for many years, but unfortunately it's been plagued with reliability problems surrounding Daylight Savings Time (DST) changes and no - longer provides the quality of operation required by Macrium Reflect.

When you first start Macrium Reflect after upgrading from v7.2 or earlier, if you have existing WTS schedules, then you'll see the following dialog when Macrium Reflect starts:
| Info |

| Note: If there is currently a scheduled backup running when you first start Reflect after upgrading then this dialog will not be displayed until the next time Reflect is started and no backups are running. |
Press 'Convert Now' to immediately convert existing scheduled tasks to use the Macrium task Task Scheduler (MTS). Press 'Convert Later' to convert at a later time.
Although we recommend that you convert your scheduled backups, the Windows Tasks Scheduler (WTS) is still fully supported. At any time you can switch between WTS and MTS by taking the 'Other Tasks' > 'Edit Defaults' > 'Schedule' menu option:
