Hello All,
I have had ATI for a few weeks now and have posted a few times and received much help.
During the time I have had acronis TI, I have imaged to internal and external drives and then burned to DVD+RW. Each time I have used Karens Power Tools to hash the image at the hard drives and then DVD and always the hash has been correct.
Today I thought I must try a restore.
I have two computers connected to single monitor, keyboard and mouse, connected through a belkin KVM swich.
The computer with Acronis that I wished to restore (no need just wanted to have a go).has no DVD so I imaged to an ICYBOX external case which has an old Maxtor 20 GB drive in , then transferred the external over to the other computer to burn image to DVD.
I used the TI boot disk to do the images in TI so did the restore inTI rather than windows.
The images were 10*635MB plus one small one. 7 on first disk.
At this point I will say that the restore worked perfectly, it took about 30 minutes then all up and running as before. I had adulterated some of my info to prove all was OK.
So all well! just a small question.
When I put disk 2 in a panel came up almost immediately asking me to put in volume 1 and retry which I did, it then asked me to put in volume 11 and then again asked for volume 1. The restore then started and cotinued until I am asked to put in volume 8. It then cotinued to 3 seconds from finish and then asked for volume 1 again which I put in and almost immediately a panel came up to say restore successful.
Is this disk changing normal as there seemed to be more changes than I had expected, which was a little unnerving as it happened?.
As I have said all seems ok (very pleased) but curious about the changes.
I know I could have just restored from the external drive but I wanted to try the DVD.
Thanks for any views on the disk changing,
Regards
