Currently some simple tasks such as copying a backup to an external network drive are quite tricky to achieve for the average user. There is no integrated option to copy a local backup to a network drive and setting this up would require editing the script (which I have not found to be particularly easy as once you start customising scripts, you lose the function of the GUI).   

Most backup software I've used previously includes the option to run pre and post-backup tasks, where it would be simple to enter an xcopy or robocopy task to mirror the local backup files to a network share or NAS box. However this seems to be missing from Macrium reflect.

Hi NickG,

Thanks for posting and for your feedback I have passed it onto the development team for evaluation.
