Default O.T. Missing Folder/files

I kind of thought this would happen, after the mrimg backup I went

show up. Apparently only while making a Mrimg do the errors show.

So what I did was pretend to start a mrimg backup to access all the Mrimgs
with errors then I just closed Macrium without going further. They all have it
back to 8-21-19 except for the one I just created. I didn't check the older mrimgs
although I could if you want.

OK, thinking about it again, your backup XML definition
file is like this. It is referencing two disk drives,
and currently there is no Disk1 in the machine.
(The MBR sector gets backed up, without you asking.)

Partition0 Partition1
+-----+---------------+-----------------+
| MBR | C: | System Reserved | Disk0 Partition0 and Partition1
+-----+---------------+-----------------+

+-----+---------------+-----------------+
| MBR | ??? | Partition1 | Disk1 Partition1
+-----+---------------+-----------------+

What probably happened, is there were two drives
in the machine, the internal drive and the
external drive, and somehow, the partition
on the external "1 1" got included in the
backup definition.

That's my guess.

By looking at the XML file with a text editor,
you can verify what it says. Compare the info
in the backup definition, to your knowledge of
what's in the machine right now.

That will at least put your mind at ease,
as to what the backup program is attempting to
do, but the physical configuration does not match.
It's ignoring the non-existent animal.
