Acronis TI 11 taking way too much drive space ????

[Sam777]

Just installed Acronis TI 11 home a couple of days ago. And I'm finding some potential problems.

1) Today I noticed that there had been a significant decrease in my boot partition free space. And investigation shows that Acronis took over 200megabytes ???

The Acronis sub dir has only 36 megs. But there is an acronis directory under Programs\Common files that has over 196 megs?? That seems like a tremendous amount of stuff.

System W2k, OutPost, Nod32, 2 gigs ram on a nice "antique NF-7 Mbd".

The largest sub dirs in Comon Acronis dir are these sub dirs:
Fomatik =100.9 Mb;
True Image Home =74.9 Mb;
Media Builder =13.6Mb

What is all this stuff for? Can it be eliminated?

2) I also noted that Acronis had set some of its services to run all the time. Those I changed to manual from automatic. The only thing I want Acronis to do for me is to let me make backups for my OS and program partitions. It doesn't need, nor do I want it doing anything "all the time". In fact I'd be happier if I could put Acronis on a boot CD and do all my backups from the CD. Is that possible?

Thanks
Sam :what:

Weaz,

Thanks for your reply. Chapter 2 ?? Is this the link you are suggesting?

And anybody,

what are those large directories for? And can they be eliminated?

Ok found some links that may let me create the boot CD with Acronis. I'll check that out.

But I am still wondering what Acronis is doing using over 196 megs in the program Files\common\acronis sub dir.
