The recovery media will present you with a Macrium reflect like interface, so for routine restores there is no need to interact with PE directly if you one want to. It's the preferred way to do that kind of thing these days. It may be possible to overcome this with another Linux distro, but as I mentioned, I wouldn't know if that is possible.Windows PE is just a cut down version of Windows useful for booting a system just enough for recovery tools to run. In this case, you should backup again, since there might be problems when trying to restore using a newer version with a backup originally made with older versions.Ībout RAID support, AFAIK the RAID support is only included in the WinPE PAID version, not in the free one.

TrueCrypt and USB connections shouldn't be a problem if you use the latest Macrium Reflect version (older version might have problems with USB). I don't know if it is possible to run the Macrium Reflect program from other Linux distro. Some systems can't access USB drives, or raid arrays where their images are stored, and I need to run TrueCrypt to make image files readable for a couple systems, which isn't possible from the bootable CD.ĭoes anyone here know if it's possible to run the MR Linux recovery program from the recovery CD, from a Linux OS? Preferably, I would like to run it from a small distro like Puppy Linux, so it can be run from a live CD or flash drive, but I am open to other options. I use Macrium Reflect to back up a couple of my computers, but have trouble with the rescue CD in some cases. I stumbled across this thread, and although my question isn't about UBCD per se, I'm hoping someone here can help me.
