Acronis True Image Rescue Disc

May 10, 2009

I have purchased a boxed Acronis True Image Home 2009. Installed it on my fairly new PC running on Vista (with all the updates) Home Premium and registered and updated the software with Acronis. I have immersed myself in the Acronis User Manual until I was ready to go. I used the True Image wizard to create a bootable rescue disc. Placed the disc in my PC's combo DVD/CD Rom/RW drive. There is the usual whirring noise and the Windows Explorer pane opens up showing a restore manager folder containing 7 files (no .exe file) then more 'gravel' noise and after waiting for ten minutes absolute silence and nothing more happened. Assumtion: the disc is not bootable.

I made several more rescue discs and tried to run them several ways including starting up the PC with the disc in the drive. That opens up Windows in the usual way but no disc boot up! Acronis web support have sent me a link to download an ISO file of the True Image software which I have downloaded and burnt the ISO image file to CD. But this still will not boot up. Not sure where to go from here? This is the brand-leader in backup/cloning software and a near-new PC. Is there something I have overlooked? Have I got to go 'messing' with my PC's BIOS - not keen on that??

Acronis True Image Home 2009 Unable To Backup

May 12, 2009

My saga with Acromis True Image continues. I have successfully installed it on my fairly new Vista PC and found a way of creating and using a rescue disc by adjusting the bootup sequence of the drives. I now find that each time I try to do a backup to my Buffalo external HDD - reformatted to NTFS - I get the error message "Failed to execute the task - Error #1364 - A specified authentication package is unknown (0xFFF0)"

Acronis web support say I should edit the registry as a registry entry is missing in the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlLsa. This surprised me as my PC is not on a network. This is covered in You may not be able to connect to a remote server, the Workstation service may stop, and you may receive an "Error 1364" error message in Windows Server 2003 or in Windows Small Business Server 2003........

True Image Cloning

May 5, 2009

My 80gb Vista laptop is out of space, so I bought a 250gb drive and installed it in a USB 2.0 enclosure. I have tried both the True Image clone procedure and also partitioning the 250gb with 2 partitions then backing up the original drive to one of the partitions, replacing the 80 with 250 and tried to recover into the blank partition but no success.

I get the cannot boot message and must use the install cd to enable the new clone but I still am unable to boot into the cloned version. I have had great luck with Acronis but just cannot make this work. I am using True Image Home V10 Build 4.942) with Windows Vista Home Basic with SVC Pk1. Are there any of the drive manufacturers that have a utility that will get around this boot problem with Vista? I am ready to buy another drive just to get this done.

True Image, Restoring Backup

Jun 1, 2009

I am able to backup my C drive to my D drive with no problems. The problem I have is that I cannot restore my C drive from the D drive that I have it backed up on. I tried to do it from both the desktop, and from the original install CD, and also a rescue disk that I created. I keep getting an error message telling me to restart. Nothing works that I try. Do any of you know what the difference is between True Image 11 and TI 2009?

Outlook 2007 Recovery By Image Using Acronis

Aug 24, 2009

I am having to rebuild my computer (long story). On the old system I have a backup image using Acronis but when I restore using the backup image and boot I get a BSOD. I was able to restore the image to an external drive and I can connect to my laptop via USB/eSATA and see everything on the drive. The new system is up and running, and I can access what used to be my old 'C' drive. Here's the situation that I need help with: I was (and will be) using Office Outlook 2007 as my email client. I've been able to recover most of my outlook stuff, what I have not been able to recover is

My email accounts - I had about 10 and with a bit of pain I can recover them. My rules - I had about 200 and only with a LOT of pain and time will I be able to recovery them. Any advice (instructions at the dummy level would be welcome) as to how I can recover my email accounts and rules (especially my rules).

HD Shows True Size In BIOS, But Not In Windows

Mar 1, 2009

I put together a new system, and the hard drive shows its true size (250GB) in the bios, however during the windows vista 64bit installation the hard drive says its only 232 GB. I then exited the installtion and restarted. It still said it was 232GB. I continued on with the installation hoping to see if it would change once Windows was installed with all the drivers. I paritioned the drive so that windows would be 50GB and the rest of the drive would be for whatever i wanted and i would split it up later. I proceeded to format the remainder of the hard drive before i went on to install windows, and it stayed there for a while and then i realised it locked up and i got a BSOD.

I reset the computer, and went on to install windows and i didnt bother to format the remainder of the hard drive. Windows installed without any problems, but when i get to windows, the drive still shows as 232GB. I ran a memory test from a Kubuntu CD and its not the ram.

Acronis Disk Imaging

Feb 16, 2009

I cannot get Acronis Home Image 2009, Ghost 14.0 or Windows Vista Ultimate PC Computer Complete Restore to run properly.

With Acronis, I can create an image file just fine. Restoring from that image is another thing, however. Early in the restore process (booting into Acronis) I get an error message, "Unable To Load Linux Kernal". I have not recieved an answer from my request at Acronis. Furious I went out and bought Norton Ghost 14.0. Same deal. created an image ok but could not restore. Norton said I needed to contact HP to get the following drivers: AMD AHCI Compatible Raid Controller Driver; Wan Miniport (SSTP); and AMD Raid Console. I called HP, they sent me back to Norton. So on, and so on.

They had a sale at Best Buy, and I upgraded to Vista Ultimate so I could do the Windows Restore. Same DARN deal... made a computer back up fine could not restore. I had created the image (From Ultimate) on a USB 1 Terabyte hard drive. Windows couldn't find it. Somehow I worked around that and did manage to find the image file. When I tryed to restore I got an error message, "The Windows Complete PC Restore Operation Failed. Error Details:

The Parameter Is Incorrect (0x80070057).

Acronis Software Comment

Jun 20, 2009

A week or so ago I requested information on how to upgrade a laptop hard drive and was given the recommendation to use Acronis software, which I could download and test for free.

Fair warning - the documentation was not all that hot - it took quite a while to find the clone disk command under Utilities, since the documentation, over 100 pages, did not seem to mention this. I first tried the backup and restore approach which took many hours but in the end failed.

But worst of all when I discovered the clone disk command it allowed me to clone my hard drive to an external drive in preparation for cloning it back to the new hard drive, a process that took a couple of hours. However, when you attempt to clone the external copy back to the new hard drive you get a message saying that the trial copy is not really the complete software as seemed to be stated at download, but an abridged version which will not let you do complete the process.

I believe that Acronis is misleading users at its website by saying you are downloading a 15 day full version of the software. I can express a certain amount of anger having waste 3/4 of a day attempting to use the software, when if they had chosen to be upfront I could have made a choice about buying it or not.

I do appreciate the those of you who recommended the software, but I want you to be aware of this questionable practice. I have been a Excel MVP for many years, and I can assure you that the general public would become extremely angry if they downloaded the full version of Office 2007 (with a 60 day trial period!) and it wouldn't do many of the things the regular version does.

Acronis TrueImage Vs Norton Ghost

Jun 5, 2008

This note it intended to assist those who wish to use either of the subject programs in the same fashion I do. I have extensive experience with Acronis version 10, initial release and build 9042 and version 11 build 8035. Also experienced with Norton Ghost version 10 and version 12. Both products are good. I choose not to use the Acronis products because executing scheduled backup tasks with validation for 4 systems would take about 9 hours and 20 minutes using Acronis TrueImage whereas the same tasks using Norton Ghost would take about 2 hours and 40 minutes.

I back up four systems to an external drive on a regular basis. Each backup is a full image of a system. Each backup is validated. Each system backs up to a different directory on an external drive. I keep 6 backups for each system. All backups are scheduled overnight on the same night. The drive is attached locally to a Vista system and 3 XP systems back up to it's directory via a LAN. The back up time for the 4 systems are about 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes. Validating the backups take roughly the same time as does the backup. These times are about the same for all the products.

The time difference (9 hrs 20 min vs 2 hrs 40 min) is due to what I consider a flaw in the scheduled validation process of the Acronis products. When executing a scheduled backup with validation, the Acronis products validate every backup on the backup location. The first backup of 10 minutes and 6 validations of 10 minutes each takes about 1 hr 10 min. The second backup of 20 minutes and 6 validations takes about 2 hrs and 20 min. The same time needed for the third backup. The 4th backup of 30 min and 6 validations takes about 3 hrs 30 min. A total of about 9 hrs 20 mins.

Wont Backup With Acronis Home

Feb 18, 2009

Anyone come across this problem before? I have Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. I installed Acronis Home (recent version, 10 I think). Made a backup without issue. Restored the backup without issue. Problem is I want to now make a new backup again. I cannot get the system to backup any more. It gets to the point where it is about to start the backup and just sits there.

Acronis Backups Burned To DVDs Won't Recognize

Oct 20, 2008

I use Acronis True Image 11 for backing up, all from the bootable CD, I don't have Acronis installed. After creating an image I verify it with Acronis. I also like to burn the image to DVDs and verify them on DVD also. When I burn them to DVDs with Vista, Acronis wont recognize them to verify or restore. If I burn them with Nero Acronis will verify them and can restore them. Any images burned to DVDs would already have been verified while on the HD before burning to DVDs. Any body know what the difference is between burning them with Nero verses Vista in relation to Acronis not recognizing the images burned to DVDs by Vista?

Disk Management Vs Acronis, Move The Entire User Folder

Mar 26, 2008

Recently replaced an ACER factory load with a clean install of VISTA Home Preimum. My HD has 3 partitions C (228gb), D (227gb), and hidden (9gb). Would like to get rid of the hidden (ACER factory load ). My HD is 500 GB and my total use is 51 GB on C. Would it make sense to create 3 partitions C (small) for Vista and applications, D (small) for data and E (whats left) for whatever.

Is it possible / pratical to move the entire User folder to D or would this actually cause more future trouble than it is worth. Can any of this be done with Disk Management (when I right click on the hidden I get no options) or is a third party solution required ? Or should I just leave well enough alone

The Vista Scores Cannot Be Taken As A True Benchmark Unless You Use A Benchmarking Utility Written Specifically For Vista

Mar 29, 2008

The biggest factor that explains why your scores between XP and Vista are so radically different is because the benchmark program you are using (you never said which) is likely written specifically for XP. The Vista scores cannot be taken as a true benchmark unless you use a benchmarking utility written specifically for Vista, such as PCMark Vantage. You can then compare scores between yours and other Vista installations. But unless you find a utility that can correctly test and recognize the differences between both XP and Vista, you cannot accurately compare scores.

Creating A Hyperlink

Mar 8, 2009

I, use the email for listing my auctions on several sites. We, use to have Outlook Express on the older computer. With this new computer we are using Windows Mail which I can see now is one of the most useless mail systems. When I, go to the page that I want to link to, and copy the address at the top and have it in my que, I then go to the email and click on the hyperlink button and paste the address in with the Type of File set for http:, and do a OK.

Now when I save the message, and then go back to it the link works, but if I go somewhere else in Windows Mail and come back to the message, sometimes the link works and sometimes it doesn't. Then when you open the hyperlink button again the address has either disappeared or it has change Type of File to "(other)" What made it change the Type of File to "(Other)"??

So, I grab the address again, and change the Type of File back to http: and paste the address into the box, Hit OK. Then on the email I can copy what I want so I can transfer the information plus the hyperlink to other messages that need the same information in them. But then when I go back and check those hyperlinks they have been changed from http: to (other) so now the hyperlink will return a non-valid-address. What is making this happen??

Creating Partition (x64)

Jan 7, 2009

I have tried several times to create a new partition using Acronis Disk Director, and it fails with an error code I can't find any reference to.

So then I tried using the built-in tool in Vista to "shrink" my current partition, to allow me to create another. But the max available "shrink space" was something ridiculous, less than 1GB (and the drive has 75GB free).
