@admin,
This leads to a question: Macrium deletes images that fail verification (Check Image), but are reported to have successfully completed, whereas ETBH does not.
This is not applicable to to the OP's question, but was does HBSP do if an image fails a "Check Image." I ask because, if an image can be successfully mounted, then while all not files may be recoverable, and the backup cannot be used to completely restore a system, it may be that the user only wants to find one or more data files ...
As you know, I always verify/check my images, and I think the Macrium approach is a little draconian. Twice over the years, I have encountered situations to which I was alerted by a failed verify or check image, to investigate that my target external HDD was no longer reliable and needed to be replaced. I might also have wanted to only salvage one or more recently created or modified document files. My backup strategy is now more advanced, so I have all of my documents immediately and automatically backed on my Proton Drive, but in those days, I did not.
Have a great day.
Regards,
Phil
