Macrium Reflect backup help?


pio
Go to solution Solved by pio,

Recommended Posts

So I was swapping NVME drives yesterday, and I broke my system. -_-

 

I backed it up first with Macrium Reflect.  Restored the image to the new NVME, and for some odd reason the rig didn't like that too much.  Kept BSOD'ing saying boot device failure.

 

So, I clean wrote Windows 11 to the new NVME.

 

Now I have my old backup file open in Explorer.......I can't access my user folder on the old image.  Security is broken, but it won't let me re-write security.  I try to take ownership of the folder and it says that its write protected.

I do still have my old NVME drive, that I "can" plop into another rig, but being Windows 11, I'm not sure that's going to work out too well either?  I'll have to pull out another rig to test it with, but yeah.........

 

TLDR:  How can I gain access again to my user folder on my Reflect Image, or can I recover it somehow off the old NVME drive I just pulled out?

Figured it out......

 

Opened Macrium Reflect

Existing Backups tab, browse for image, opened old image.

Right click the path, "browse image", so I could open it in Explorer.

When choosing the drive letter to mount out of the image, chose drive C.

 

This is the trick here

"Enable access to restricted folders" & "Make writeable" both needed to be checkmarked.

 

Now I have access to my old user profile folder.  I got my Minecraft world back! :wheee:

Another trick you can try is use RoadKil's unstoppable copier and try to copy the user folder when running as administrator. Also, try running as admin, open browse in the program and see if you can see through your user folder. If you do you can copy the account. 

otherwise, r-studio is always a good thing to have. It ain't free but it is very handy for recovery.

Nah, the problem was that I removed the C drive all together, but I had it imaged.  I was trying to access that image as a usable drive to recover data because restoring the image somehow had failed....possibly due to new physical C drive.  Idk, I fixed it by the above thing regardless.  Kinda neat that you can now mount your old images as a usable drive with Macrium.

I will have to keep that in mind.

Yeah its super useful to be able to browse the images at a folder/file level allowing for easy restore. EaseUS ToDo Backuo has this feature as well, certainly made my life easier 🙂

 

Glad you got your Minecraft files back.
