A quick catch-up for interested parties; Acronis have been in touch now so I'll be forwarding details and the log file over to them. BB
Speaking of whom... I emailed details of my problems and this thread to Acronis support some days ago but have heard nothing since. Does anyone...
Well, who cares if it works? Did they actually work or not? BB
I think all we can learn is that the compression algorithm doesn't work with my machine at all, and that I can't do any kind of backup of the D...
I just ran Memscope all night for nearly six passes. No errors. BB
In safe mode, I got a backup that validated from the C partition to the D partition. I also got one that didn't. The difference was that one had...
Full version, eh? Missed that bit :-( I got the mouse going last night and did a backup to the mobile drive which took 6 hours. It failed as it...
When exactly am I supposed to press F11 to get quiet please? BB
I'm still trying here... the mouse decided to work once and once only, I don't know why... this in rescue disc safe mode, the backup said it would...
The mouse doesn't work with the rescue disk. I can navigate as far as the comment section using the keyboard but then I can't get out of the...
A) All night, 14 passes, IIRC. Clear, no problems. B), No, it's a partition, C) I haven't tried the recovery disk yet, but I will! BB
Nope, that won't validate either. I'm wondering if I can backup the D partition to the C partition but I don't think there's room to try. What...
The D partition comes up clean. Damn! I'll try an uncompressed backup of it to the mobile drive. BB
Here's another step. A compressed backup of the C partition to the mobile drive validates. A compressed backup of the D partition to the mobile...
Yup, that was very useful, thanks. OK, an update, very promising so far. I moved a whole load of files from my D partition and ran chkdsk/r on it...
And we have a winnah! The D partition reads, um, (peers over his glasses) "Insufficient space to fix security descriptions data stream". Well!...
Thinking about it, I do. What should I try? I'm halfway through running chkdsk/r on all my drives, by the way, so things are progressing. BB
The tib doesn't always validate. I don't have problems creating tibs, I get no errors when making them. BB
Backup to the D partition at maximum compression failed validation. Probably tomorrow I'll try off the rescue disk. BB
And that failed immediately too. I'm going to try a backup to the D partition at maximum compression, mainly because it's something we haven't...
But the uncompressed archive I made to the external drive, which got split into six segments, I observe, failed validation immediately. I'm...
Hey Foghorne, you got a cousin called Leghorne, by the way? Hot News, puzzle kidz, is that the uncompressed backup to the D partitiion actually...
I don't know how to do one. You mean I should boot up using the rescue disk, having made it, save an image of the C drive to another drive, then...

Ok I'll go upgrade. Meanwhile, FYI, AMD Sempron 3400+ 2.01Ghz 2 Gig RAM The hard drive ATI is installed on is a Maxtor 6LV200PO (substitute 0...
