Why not do weekly full backups as suggested but daily differentials? I'd consider that safer. Even better would be to split system and data -...
Great!! Now booting successfully from an old 'small' 4GB drive set up to test the principle. To think that 4MB used to be big! Many thanks Phil
An update: I have created bootable flash drives but cannot get Acronis to recognise them. I've tried two drives - a very old HP 32Mbyte...
Thanks both. A great help and much appreciated. I'll try it out with an old IDE 4GB drive from the junk box whilst ordering the new drives....
I have seen the interesting and clever procedure for creating a USB disc which can boot the Acronis rescue utility, but is it possible to boot it...
Sightly off topic, but are you running out of space because you are storing ALL your previous backups? Have you considered the old trick of...
With TI 9, if you are restoring only the C: partition (not a whole disk) you also need to restore the MBR. Phil
I still don't understand. You seem to be saying that he has only 2 drives and that he alternates them via a clone. So.... let's assume that...
I'm not sure I fully understand this. If the source drive were to fail this would very likely show itself during a clone operation - he'd end up...
Apart from the merits of media (DVD vs hard disk), and of software to write it (TI, synchtoy, Windows explorer etc) I think you need to look...
Goldfishcolor, I'm not disagreeing with anything said previously but I'd add: - Update your TI 10 from the web site. - create a new...
Possible way out: Create boot disk. Boot from it. Do backup of your internal drive to your 'big' USB disk. Swap disks in your computer Boot...
If your only aim is to delete the file and not understand which process is holding it then you could try renaming the file, rebooting and then...
If you mean a backup generated with v9 I think it safe to assume not. The restore CD I made with v9 'out of the box' would not read .tib files...
Ah yes, that's it. I didn't lack the long paperclip (1.25" is about it), just the courage to use it! That paperclip is now in the tools...
I tried the paperclip technique but it would not open the drawer when powered off. When running windows it wouldn't either - just lit the...
A question I feel stupid asking. In order to boot from bootable disk you clearly need to put the CD drive in the boot order in the Bios. On my...
Yes, I have misunderstood! Always at least one backup available. Fine. Phil
Hm! So if you have a bad bit on your your main disk it is most likely to show itself when there is most activity. That will probably be during...
Well, yes, seen it in a University context - both across the LAN at 1Gbyte/sec (successful) and across a 155Mit/sec fibre/radio regional network...
A Summary: Suspicions of faulty versions of TI, Suspicions of bad sectors on your C:, Windows install failing, Inconsistent results...
Bob, I use TI 9 but the principles are the same. I also expect you'll get lots of responses. Cloning is copying from old to new disk...
Shivz, Sorry, but I'm going to delve a bit more. I have just tried a plain copy and paste from DVD to hard disk of a DVD which came with...
duuh! Understand it now. Sorry for the panic. Phil
Hi Shivz, welcome to the forum. I think you need to give more information here. Which Acronis product? What version? What are you trying to do...
