Process Guard causing disk image problems?

[rwjack]

I am a new user of Process Guard 3.15. After installing and useing it for a few day, I find I am unable to run an incremental backup with Acronus True Image 7. I have given Acronis full priveleges, including read, yet I set up to create incremental image, yet the backup does not start. Could Process Guard be the culprit? Thanks.

Hi rwjack, I do not use Acronis incremental BU feature but do you have allow Services / install drivers enabled for Acronis services? As if not this may be causing the problem.

You might also ask in the Acronis forum which services might need to be on ProcessGuards list.

I use Acronis True Image as well as several other backup solutions. Although all of them state you can continue working in Windows, I don't. When I am Imaging/Backing up, I leave the computer idle, and I disable PG, and my antivirus programs. No problems this way.

I do the same thing ... just to prevent any backup problems.

I use Drive Image 7 to make backups while in Windows; I do not disable PG when doing so and have had no problems.

Hi rwjack,

The problem might be associated with incremental imaging as opposed to one-time imaging. Although I generally image outside of Windows using TeraByte Unlimited's BootIt NG, I also image within Windows using their Image for Windows product and have never had any problems doing so with PG enabled. However, these are one-time images and not incremental. You might try creating a non-incremental image with TI and see if that succeeds.

Just to update my last post: I re-installed TI7 (last build) and ran a full backup and then an incremental backup after a reboot. I had no problems with either backup with PG 3.150 enabled. I did not put the TI executables in PG's Protection List.

I should add I have no problem doing incrementals with any of the backup software I run. But I am careful do turn off the protection stuff.
