I am having the same problem with Macrium Reflect error 0x1f6 on daily backup.
Avast seems to not let the task run. Someone suggested turning off avast self-protection
might help, but I do not really know enough about it. Also uninstalling Avast will do it.

I would be good if someone from the Dev team would acknowledge the bug and perhaps give an ETA for a fix.

The avast self defense has nothing to do with this.

Huh?!  Are you trying to tell me the Avast Development Team have nothing to do with fixing bugs caused by their AV?   :o

I responded to Galt and I never said that the development team has nothing to do with the problem.

Received this from Macrium:
This issue is caused by Avast, we have reached out to them for assistance but have not had a reply.

Version 7 of Reflect will solve the issue. The issue has been identified and a workaround has been documented. Please see this link:

This is not true, well at least for me.   :)

Turning off Avast's self-defense module (followed by a reboot) allowed successful completion of backups using the Task Scheduler.  Backups work fine with the self-defense module active if they are run manually.  The backup problem only occurs using the Task Scheduler.

My issue did not start until the next scheduled backup after I upgraded to version 17.1.2286 (build 17.1.3394.42).  I don't know if this self-defense module is a new feature, was turned on in the new release, or was upgraded.

Deactivate the self-defense module as described by member gtdurham or go to:

   http://forum.macrium.com/FindPost10821.aspx

I opened a support ticket with Macrium and they gave me the solution described in the post as well.

They also told me that "We have reached out to Avast to work with them on a resolution but they, unfortunately, declined".

I'm completely disappointed that Avast chose not to work with them assuming that that statement is true (which I have no reason to believe otherwise).

Selfdefense module isn't  new and is meant to prevent third party changes from making changes to anything Avast.
Which part of Macrium is responsible for attempting to make a change in something to do with Avast ???
I'm also reporting this to Avast. Hopefully a developer will chime in.

i'm not sure what Macrium could possibly be doing as far as making a change in something to do with Avast.  it's simply a backup program and it is fairly lightweight.

besides if it was trying to make a change to Avast why does it work when i run the program manually?  the error only occurs when it is invoked via the Task Scheduler.

A question for the developers to answer. I'm an Avast user just like you.
I actually don't use Macrium. I use the built in Windows image creation tool. :)

Even with the update provided by Macrium Reflect, the scheduled backups still don't run.
