If the point in time you wish to go back to is the time for which you have a Differential, you can immediately restore that Differential. The answer to Question 1 is "Yes, that makes perfect sense." Just to be clear though, when performing an image restore, you do NOT have to restore the Full first and then restore the Differential on top of that.

Do I need to delete that most recent "Full" backup before restoring the system using the Macrium backups? I don't know if a full backup includes the internally stored Windows recovery image and I do not want to corrupt the clone system software during the recovery process.

Obviously that Full backup is of the system after the corruption was discovered. Does that sound valid?Ģ) Just before my repeated efforts to download a new ISO file I completed a "Full" backup as recommended by Microsoft Corp. In order to completely recover to my pre-corruption state my plan is to replace the existing 1TB main drive with the 1TB clone disk and then run recovery using the recent Macrium weekly backups. Two questions:ġ) My most recent main disk clone is about a month old and I have a weekly backups ever since then (I run Full on first Saturday of month and Differential all other Saturdays). Every time I download a new ISO file to repair the image it flags the ISO file as corrupted so I'm going to fall back to my full blown recovery plan. It seems likely that the Windows 10 image on my main drive was corrupted during the most recent automatic Windows upgrade. I had a plan for recovery from corruption using my Macrium Reflect backups and want to confirm implementation before starting. I been reading many of the recovery posts but they are over my head and so do not help. I have Windows 10 desktop system with 1TB main drive and that drive contains a D: Recovery partition.
