@a_freed_man,
In case you are not aware and you are not entirely freed from Windows, live rescue media created in Macrium Reflect on a Windows system will work with Linux systems including MX-Linux. The main limitation is that you cannot access individual files in the backup image as in Windows but you can create and restore image files of your Linux system. I have successfully recovered my Linux systems after problems caused by fumblings. So if you still have access to Macrium Reflect on a Windows system, you could create bootable live rescue media. A usb pen drive is ideal but you can use optical media. Boot your Linux computer from the live Macrium Reflect media and you will see the options for backing-up and restoring.
