how to stop everything from rebuilding the database when I mount .mrimg image drives (Macrium Reflect backups)
Posted: Mon Dec 25, 2023 9:31 pm
I use Macrium Reflect as my backup solution, it creates virtual drive images for every backup, that can then be mounted.
Whenever I mount these drives, everything starts rebuilding the database, although this is not a full rebuild (it does not regather properties, of which I have a lot of) but it builds everything else, such as:
etc etc, since my DB consists of allot of drives, this takes 5-7 minutes. Which means I cant search anything during that time in a Everything Window or in ES cli, Directory Opus etc.
For user properties and content indexing, I solved this problem by only gathering/indexing content from the following drives:
and only ever mounting Macrium Reflect drives on drives letters not present in the above list of letters. But the NTFS, FAT, ReFs setting sections do not over such filtering options.
I have noticed that Everything lists these virtual drives under NTFS, I unchecked "Automatically include the new fixed volumes" and "Automatically include the new removable volumes" but this does not seem to do anything as when I mount new .mrimg files, everything rebuilds the DB
I am on the latest beta.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
