Total Progress Always 100%

[Joanne2]

I'm using ATI11Home on my Windows XP SP3 computer. I swear that when I did my first full backup, everything looked normal. Now, whenever I back up, the Total Progress line fills immediately and Operation in Progress shows 100%, although the Current Operation line looks normal. I tried searching for this issue here but couldn't find anything. Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Also, for what it's worth, I never do incremental backups or timed backups. All my backups are simply following the wizard. At first I included validation with the backups, but now I validate separately from the Rescue CD.

Thank you!

Hi Jo-Anne just curious, Are you doing you backup/image witH the rescue CD also? If not try it and see if this is still the case. I and quite a few others on this forum use the rescue Cd as a primary backup tool.
( I do the odd backup starting in the windows environment, but very few).

Thank you for the advice! I was debating whether to do the backup itself from the Rescue CD. Next time that's what I'll do. Til now, I've just been doing the validation from it.

Jo-Anne Let us know how it goes there is a lot of help on this forum, I also never do incremental or scheduled backups.
I wish TI would come out with a simple backup/restore & mount program instead of all the bells and whistles it would make things a lot simpler for some of us.

Yes! That would be nice.

By the way, now that you mention not doing scheduled backups, is there any way to get rid of that annoying system state warning that says "No backups have been scheduled yet. Result: Have no backup. Backup tasks: Not scheduled." Makes you think you haven't actually backed up your disk...

"No backups have been scheduled yet."

I have never seen that! Actually I have learned to ignore it. Plus I use my Rescue disk for most backups and you don't get that from the rescue disk. As far as I can tell there is no way to get rid of that "tidbit".
I agree, I have used TI for quite a few years and when I first saw that warning it did concern me. ( Another bit of "what where you thinking?" by Acronis).
By the way Jo-Anne many "old time users" on this forum also advise renaming your internal hard drives. TI has a way of confusing a person by giving another letter for the drives, if you name them then there is no confusion, TI will assign a new letter but the name remains the same. ( Although reassigning letters to each drive does not effect the outcome of a "recovery" it can be scarey). I added the name "main" to my C drive ( partioned to 2 drives) so it is now called C renamed to "main" and to my data drive D ( the second partion) it is now called Data for my second internal drives (pationed to 4 drives) Eimages, Hpictures etc. )
Good luck to you.

dbknox is absolutely correct. Just ignore the system state warning.
It is not only badly implemented it can give totally wrong and possibly dangers information.
An example being where one is using scheduled backups and the warning bar goes green guess what happens if a scheduled backup never actually starts...... Yes that's right the warning bar stays green!!!

Check yourimage destination area instead or view the TI logs, then you can sleep easy.
