Is it possible that the XML error could be related to the

No.
The information in question would be additional
lines that for some reason, don't belong there.
Here, I just made up a backup definition in Macrium, which
means the definitions are highly likely to align with
the actual disk. This is just to illustrate what the
file contents look like. On Windows 7, the path is
going to be different. Maybe searching for a "Reflect" directory
would be a start. I gave my backup_name a unique title, to
help me find mine.
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\Reflect\OneSample.xml

image_entry id="2"
disk id="13796CED"1/disk

/image_entry
image_entry id="3"
disk id="13796CED"1/disk
partition3/partition
/image_entry
image_entry id="4"
disk id="13796CED"1/disk
partition4/partition
/image_entry
So the syntax seems to be
disk id="13796CED"1/disk partition1/partition
and that means for some reason the partition indexes
are offset or something. Your file is claiming there is no
Partition 1 on the disk any more.
Disk Management (GUI) and diskpart.exe (Command Line)
can tell you things about disks. In this case, we
want "diskpart.exe" from an Administrator Command Prompt.
This picture shows me checking whether my disk has
the partitions I think it has. And my disk does
have a Partition 1, so the Macrium definition
would not be whining that it is missing.
Check out your disk and see what it says. The word
"Exit" is used to quit.

If I were to delete Partition 1 in that example,
then the next time I run "OneSample" in Macrium as
a backup, it's going to give the error that you saw.
