Automatically back up all of your content to the cloud – easily access your files in Google Drive and your photos in Google Photos. Just choose the folders you want to back up, and backup app takes care of the rest.

And then on each disk I have an identical copy of a file specifying that the drive should be assigned letter Z.Google Backup and Sync is an app for PC that backs up files and photos safely in Google Drive and Google Photos, so they're no longer trapped on your computer and other devices. In one client's case where they have a backup disk rotation of 9 total disks, I have USBDLM configured to check for a file at a specific path on every attached disk, and if it finds it, then assign that drive the letter stored in that file. Despite the name, it works on a lot more than USB drives and can do a lot more than drive letter management, but it can do drive letter assignment in all sorts of ways. If you need something more robust than that, I've used USB Drive Letter Manager.

For drives that I always want to use a consistent drive letter, I typically manually assign them a letter far down in the alphabet, since if you manually change a drive letter, Windows will remember to use that letter with that drive as long as nothing ELSE uses that letter - which is why it's a good idea to pick a letter far down in the alphabet, since that means that the default "next available" drive letter assignment behavior in Windows will be unlikely to ever assign that letter to something else. But that would only apply to the initial backup job performed by Reflect itself, not this Robocopy synchronization function in the PowerShell script it generates.
Punctuation matters - especially in scripting! Reflect can use unique volume identifier instead of drive letter, but not volume name. Does Macrium have the ability to look at the volume name of a drive instead of the drive letter for identification? In case the drive letter is already taken by another drive separate from the one being used as the 2nd destination drive? That's correct, but encase the destination path in single quotes and add the semicolon at the end, as is done on the existing line. SynchroniseDirectories $strBackupDir E:\Macrium Images\ Is this correct? Another question as well. So you would basically add a line that looks something like this for the 2nd destination, let's say an external USB drive in the folder Macrium Images.

So is there a way to make it shutdown the computer after it syncs/copies the new full image from the image backup folder to the destination drive/folder? Also, could you have it copy the new image file to two different places then shutdown the computer? Let's say like an internal drive other than the OS drive and then also to an external USB Drive? (This exemption is also active even if you use Robocopy directly, outside of Reflect's script generation context.) I did not know this. That's because Reflect under the hood uses Robocopy for this replication, and Image Guardian allows Robocopy to make changes to files, including deleting them, when certain conditions are met.
If your other folder/drive is locally attached, the additional benefit of this mechanism is that you can generally perform replication even when Macrium Image Guardian is active and protecting the replication destination. Then if you have scheduled backups, associate your schedules with that newly generated script (under the PowerShell Scripts tab) rather than the definition files tab. Open Reflect, go to the Backup Definition Files tab, right-click the definition file for your job, select "Create a PowerShell script", select the Directory Synchronization option, specify the replication destination, and click OK.
