this is my first time using Acronis and I don't want to blow it.I'm ready to do a restore to solve my corrupted type and a few related problems.I'm booting from the Acronis Recovery CD.Once I'm in Acronis I have a few questions. I select Recover My Disks.In Archive Selection.I select the back up which is on an external hard drive.Recover whole disk and partitions.Select items to recover.
[code]...
When I upgraded to Win 8 from Win 7 I imaged to my 2T usb drive with both of these programs.Is having two dissimilar programs going to cause any troubles?I always depended on Acronis but it seemed to be hard to install this time. They both check out ok with the discs.If 2 backups were a dependable move and did not cause a conflict, I would keep it as is.Should I keep the two or just one?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have got a license for Acronis True Image Home 2010. To my surprise, I don't like it unlike many other folks who swear on this software.Acronis creates a backup image in .tib or .zip format whereas Windows 7 Backup and Restore creates system image in an encrypted folder (with all files and folders NOT formatted). In either case, backup image becomes ready for "restore". So why keep Acronis? Well, Acronis can backup custom files and folders unlike Windows 7 default program (and, Windows 7 does it, too), however, Acronis does "Create full path (includes drive letter)" which I simply dislike. Fbackup4 (free license), on the other hand, does not do it but does the job the way I want, i.e., creates files and folders the way they are organized (without including drive letter, and without zipping or making some unusual file format). So for data backup, Fbackup4 is better, IMO. I remember, WinXP creates crazy backup file format like Acronis does.Paragon Migrate OS to SSD SE (I have license for this, too) is special in the sense that it can copy the entire OS drive/partition to a blank drive. Very good for drive upgrade.
View 1 Replies View Relatedfor backups of my main OS (in my signature) I have acronis TIH create a single image full backup daily to a different drive. Weekly a single image backup is created and saved on a different drive. Because my SSDs are in RAID0, every few weeks I make a system image backup using Acronis (outside of the daily and weekly backups), clean/all the SSDs to put everything back to 0 on the drives, then restore my installation. It makes a significant performance increase for sure.This last go around a week ago, I did the usual but could not restore no matter what I did. I bought the new version of acronis, the plus pack, unplugged all the other drives, etc etc etc that acronis told me to do to try to fix the error I was getting restoring any backups.Finally what I did was take an old backup, transfer it over the network to a different computer, bought acronis TIH again (ridiculous) and was able to clone it to a drive, plug the drive back into my main rig, boot acronis from a USB drive and clone that installation to the SSD raid setup. The only problem was, the backup I was able to use was from 7-10. I'm now trying to convert the images which would not restore to VHD to boot from the bootmgr screen of the currently restored (7-10) installation.Every tutorial I see only deals with creating a new .vhd to install windows to and boot.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got 2 partitions and the 1st partition is bigger then the 2nd. So when I try to restore my backup OS from the smaller partition to the bigger one it does not load properly! My Os is windows 7 32bit.It loads and say preparing your desktop then the desktop is blue and no icons, nothing. Just blank! I restart and enter into safe mode and still nothing just a blue screen, where you can move the mouse and press alt-del to get task manger loader but that is it.I am wondering that it might be that you can restore your image by Acronis on drives that are bigger or smaller. You need to partition it.So is this the reason why windows will not load properly cause I am restoring to a bigger partition? I tried many times and failed. Ironically when I use the same size partition image it restores perfectly so not sure what is this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter getting ti 2010 working initially in new windows 7 install, I now get the dreaded "program stops working" which appears to be the new BSOD for windows 7. This happens at initial launch and sometimes into point where I select location of backup folder. I've tried reinstalling about a dozen times to no avail and I've even used the cleaner utility with no success. I've tried the following version of true image home 2010: 6053, 7046, 7154 and 7160. Is there a preferred version for windows 7 or should these versions be installed in a certain order? All I'm trying to do is backup an ssd drive (C) to an external 3 tb drive. This should not be a complicated event.
I've also posted this message on Acronis Forum but have not yet received any responses. I hope to do better here.If there's no solution can someone recommend backup software that is very reliable and easy to use. All I want to do is do full backup from ssd drive and data disks to an external usb drive on a regular basis.
I want to create a full DISK IMAGE, ie: one big file so if I need to restore my whole hard drive, I can. Does Win 7 backup do that?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI a new HP Pavilion Slimline x64, with Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I installed Acronis 11.0 TI on it to create a backup of my computer to store on my external hardrive.
However, when I go to select the drive to backup, only the external drive, the G: drive, shows up in the list to select. I can see the C: drive from my other computers in my home network, and from the slimline PC, but, Acronis does not see it. Thus, I am unable to create the backup. The C: drive is a Hatachi HS72101CLA630 SATA Disk Drive
I have been to the Acronis forum and tried the suggestions there to uninstall, reinstall Acronis, and still the C: drive does not show up.
I have used this same Acronis on all my other computers to create backups and never had any problem, even with others that have the Windows 7 x64 as well. So I am wondering if anyone here has ever used Acronis and if so, ever had a problem with it not seeing the C: drive to select as the source drive?
I have a 2TB in my desktop that i use for backups. I have my desktop backed up onto it and my usb drives. I am using acronis so that i can create an image backup and i am trying to save it onto the network drive.The folder is shared using the advanced settings. When i select the network location in acronis to save the backup it asks for the password, i type in my user name for my desktop but i dont have a password set. It wont let me continue without typing a passcode in. But there is none.Do i have to define a password to use network shares?

Upgraded recently to Acronis 2013 & made boot cd. Booted with 2013 CD. Acronis logo appeared on acreen & under logo appeared "Loading, please wait". I waited 10 minutes & nothing happened. Problem is reproducable. Also downloaded ISO file from Acronis & made Acronis 2013 boot cd. Booted with Acronis ISO cd & have same problem. Not sure what Acronis did in 2013 version as the 2011 cd boots.

I've had a major crisis this morning using Acronis to reclaim an empty 8gb partition.The hdd from left to right, in disk manager was:8Gb Empty (formerly page file) || D:Data 210Gb Data || R:Recovery 80Gb Recovery Using Acronis I expanded the 210gb to include all the 8Gb so now it would be:D:Data 218Gb || R:Recovery 80Gb Recovery After the re-start, in Computer, it says I have D:Data 8Gb plus 80Gb Recovery.Acronis tells me I have D:Data 218Gb plus 80Gb Recovery Disk Manager tells me I have D:Data 8Gb AND D:Data 218Gb plus 80Gb Recovery.The 140Gb plus of files that where on the original D: when at 210Gb have disappeared.Recuva only recognises D: as 8GB.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just cloned my d: drive, 500 gb to a new 1 terabyte drive f:
drive f: has 49 gig more used space then cloned drive d: users on drive f: is 39 gig larger than users on drive d: the d: drive also has around 50 gigs less used space.
all the other folders are the same size, so not only have I cloned, somehow an extra 49 gb to the f: drive but 10 gb seems to have 'gone'! I used Acronis True Image WD Edition and everything appeared to go well. I don't want to format my other drive as extra storage until I have some idea what has happened.
I know both programs have been discussed before but what are the pros and cons of both Macrium and the latest version of Acronis (2011)? or are they pretty equal? I don't mind spending a few bucks on Acronis especially since I still got gift cards form Xmas Acronis looks like it has a "prettier" UI and really I would prefer to have purchase a disk rather that a download but that's not a deal breaker. I was also looking a Norton Ghost 15 but have read some really bad reviews.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI support a small LAN with 7 Windows 7 64-bit desktops for a local charity.
All the desktops have Acronis True Image Home 11 (ATI11) installed and are configures as a HomeGroup. I have been doing an incremental image backup over the network using ATI11 to one of the desktops but lately speed of the backups has become unacceptable.
For a specific example, Two of the desktops are Core I7 machines with GBit network interfaces connected through a GBit switch.
a) If I backup one to the other using ATI11 the backup will take 4-6 hours with network utilization at 3-5%.
b) If I backup the SAME system to its secondary HDD using ATI11 (a local backup) the backup takes about 2 hours.
c) If I then use a simple COPY command to copy the large ATI11 TIB backup file (30-50GB) from the SAME system to the SAME target system the network utilization varies from 25%-60% and the copy takes a, relatively speaking, small amount of time.
Note I get the same results for source systems which only have a 100MB network card except that during the COPY test they use 80-90% of the available network speed.
changing the network cards settings, IPV4 Checksum Offload for example. I tried that and it immediately "broke" the HomeGroup network connection. Question: Why will ATI11 not use more of the available network speed? Neither the source system nor the target system is CPU bound during the ATI11 backup, network or local. Aside from Norton Antivirus there are no other non-MS apps running. Disk Queue Length is not excessive.
System Restore will not create a restore point or restore to a previous date & time.The error message was: A restore point could not be created: An error was detected in the Volume Shadow Copy Server (VSS).The problem occurred while trying to contact VSS writers. Verify that the Event System Sevice and the VSS service are running & check for associated errors in the event logs (0x80042318).Volume Shadow Copy is started & running (done in system events).Event System Sevice and the VSS service are started and running. But no cigar, SR still broken.

My Windows 7 System Restore doesn't restore. It allows me to set them and tells me they've been done. But on the couple of occasions when I've wanted to use one, no joy. Yes I know I could possibly do it in 'Safe Mode' but that isn't an answer as to why I can't do it in regular mode?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had reason to check my System Restore function today and found only 3 points to choose from. One from July 15, 2012, another from 2011 and the last from 2010. Obviously two of them are worthless. I understood that a new restore point should be added each week, or at a major change of some sort. How do I change this so that more points are added as time goes by? One each week would be just fine. I can't find this option in Win 7 as I recall was available in XP.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an old HD that I used to use for backups in a different PC setup, and though I deleted those backups when I moved on to a different HD, the backups were recoverable using Pandora and I believe intact since I never used the drive in question after that time. So specifically, I now have a folder called "Backup Set 2011-02-13 190024" that contains a 84 zipped folders worth 13.1GB that comprise that backup, and I want to restore them in some automatic fashion to see what's actually worth salvaging. (I assume this doesn't have to be done one-folder-at-a-time, drilling down through five layers of branches in the folder-tree, and almost immediately forgetting where I am...) But when I look at "Backup and Restore," I can't bring up this or any target folders - the link "Select another backup to restore files from" produces a blank set of choices, and there doesn't appear to be any way to 'load' a particular folder to restore, as I would have expected.
