  That's fine. As Paul also mentioned recently, Macrium Reflect is
trustworthy, powerful, but - hence - not easy to use.

  If you ever want to try again to extract individual files from a
Macrium Reflect image, just let us know and we can give specific
instructions.

  In short [1]: Select the 'Existing Backups' tab, in the lower-right
pane right-click on your latest image, select 'Browse' and take it from
there. The image file will be mounted as an extra drive (i.e. drive
letter), which you can use in File Explorer like any other drive. When
done, right-click the drive and use the Macrium entry to unmount the
drive.

[1] Done partly from memory, because I don't want to fetch my backup
drive from storage and go through the steps.
