Macrium Reflect needs some help-

24H2

Problem: Reflect failed to run for ~3 weeks before the condition became apparent.

Attempted solution: Reflect has no onboard ability to send an error if it sees it hasn't run. Support said the obvious, if we're not running we don't know there's an error.

Here's what I think would help and why I'm here. I have to think the Reflect scheduler is using Windows scheduler. So there should be some way for another app that would constantly run in the background to monitor the scheduler and send an alert if it sees an app not run. I looked into Windows Notifications and didn't see the ability.

Suggestions?

I don't use scheduling but have to tried deleting all the schedules and setting them again?

Did you look in Windows Task Scheduler for Macrium Reflect entries? There should be some errors if so.

I just set a schedule in MR and it does NOT appear in Windows Task Scheduler.

Maybe, maybe not. From Reflect v8 onwards Reflect has its own Macrium Task Scheduler. See the Knowledge Base for how to check which you're using, and how to check and interpret the results codes.

Macrium Reflect uses either the built-in Macrium Task Scheduler or the standard Windows Task Scheduler to schedule backups. This article shows you how to check the status of your most recently run scheduled tasks.
