What Is an MRIMG File?
A file with the MRIMG file extension is a disc image file created by the Macrium Reflect backup software for the purpose of storing an exact copy of a hard drive. An MRIMG file may be built so that the files can be restored to the same drive in the future so that you can look through the files via a virtual disk on a different computer, or used to copy all the contents of one hard drive onto another. Depending on the options that were selected when the file was made, it may be a full copy of a disk that includes even the unused sectors, or it might just hold the sectors that contained information. It may also be compressed, password-protected, and encrypted.
How to Open an MRIMG File
This file type is created by, and therefore also opened with, Macrium Reflect. Double-click the file to open it and browse the backup, or follow these steps to open it from within the program. To actually restore the contents of the MRIMG file back to their original location instead of just browsing through the virtual drive, select Restore to choose the destination.
Still Can’t Open the File?
One of the simplest reasons for why a file won’t open with a program that it should clearly work with is because the file isn’t really in a format that’s supported by the program. This might be the case if you’ve misread the file extension. For example, at first glance, the MRML file extension looks a lot like it says MRIMG, but that file won’t work with Macrium Reflect. MRML files are actually XML-based scene description files created and used by 3D Slicer to render 3D medical images. The best thing to do if you’ve tried all of the above to mount or open your file is to make sure that it’s really an MRIMG file. If it’s not, then research its actual file extension to learn which programs can be used to open or convert it.
