![]() Fortunately for all of us Macrium includes a handy little way to mount your drive image as a virtual drive in Windows so you can browse /Downloads/ or any other folder in the disk image to your heart’s content. If that file isn’t co-located in your regular file backup system and exists only in your drive image then you need a way to get at that file without writing the entire image to a new drive. Let’s say, for example, you followed one of our tutorials that uses Macrium Reflect, like How to Create an Image of Your PC Before Upgrading to Windows 10, and then some time later you realize there was a file in your /Downloads/ folder that you really needed. ![]() But best practice isn’t always the practice we follow and sometimes you need a file trapped inside a disk image. Ideally you have parallel backup practices: one backup workflow for things like /My Documents/ and your photos and a tandem backup process for your entire system drive so you can restore your computer in the event of a failure or serious problem. ![]() Read on as we show you how to mount a Macrium Reflect backup image as a Windows drive. Now and then you may find you need to mount a drive image you’ve created to retrieve a file or two. Generally speaking you image an entire drive to do a drive-at-a-time backup and restoration.
