I used today acronis true image 9

[mantra]

yes i read , but i can't every every every time controll the program!!!!

i need a software that works ,stop !
i update only my nod32!

[crofttk]

I'm not sure I understand what you say, mantra.

BUT, I believe build 2323 solved some "bugs" for many people, I know they solved the ones I had before and tested -- others I haven't tested yet.

It really would be easier to help you with the latest build 2323 installed -- I think Menorcaman will agree. I don't just say so because "it's nice" to have latest build, but I think big improvements may have happened when 2323 was issued.

If you have Menorcaman helping you, you are in GOOD hands !

[mantra]

yes i can understand ,crofttk , but i swear with the build that i tried i found that bug.
by the wat is there a history of the builds??

[mantra]

Menorcaman
i don't joke , i tell u what i did
ok i used not the last build ok but....

i did a image (backup.tib) using the cd-boot
reboot my pc , ran xp .....
reboot with the cd-boot
remake an image!
i cilick on the same file backup.tib , the same image file , to overwrite
TI9 asked me (what do u want to do ? an icremental/differential or a new image)
i answer NEW IMAGE
Ti9 did a second file backup2.tib , with the same size!
so i had 2 files backup.tib (for example 3 giga ) and backup.tib ( for example 3 giga)
i delete the backup.tib
i tried to restore the file ....
ti9 starts to restore my image.....to do this ti9 needs 1 second!
at the reboot , i found ti9 delete the 1 first partition


bye the way i did a initial question about the place in the hardisk where Ti9 stores the files .....i did not get answer

You said TI9 created a second file called "backup2.tib" and then go on to say that you had 2 files "backup.tib" and "backup.tib". Did you in fact mean to say that you had 2 files "backup.tib" and "backup2.tib"? If this is the case then, despite what you have said, you must have inadvertently selected the option to create an incremental the second time that you created an image. This is the only way that TI would have added the "2" to the end of the original filename.

i delete the backup.tib

If what I've said is correct then this would have just left the backup2.tib file.

i tried to restore the file ....
ti9 starts to restore my image.....to do this ti9 needs 1 second!
at the reboot , i found ti9 delete the 1 first partition

If my assumption is correct then I'm not surprised as TI would need both the full image (backup.tib) and the incremental (backup2.tib) in order to restore correctly.

[mantra]

i understood but Menorcaman
the 2 files have the same size ! identical size
so i thinks i had not select incremental

Hello mantra,

You haven't said which build you are currently using other than it's not build 2323. Be aware that early builds of TI 9 contained a bug that caused the first incremental immediately after a full image to be the same size. See this previous thread titled <I don't Understand...Why?>.

Regards

[mantra]

thanks!
i use the buggy version


i think TI9 should have a internal update module! like ghost


Menorcaman i think u are an expert, are you a Acronis Disk Director Suite user ?

I'm afraid I can't answer that as I've only used it to non-destructively change partitions layouts and cluster sizes. However, I'm sure if you ask your question in the <Acronis Disk Director Suite Forum> you will receive your answer.

No offense but if I was to give MY own customers a changelog that was as generic as that on each software release then I'd be hung, drawn and quartered

Acronis User's (your paying customers) have been asking for PROPER detailed change logs for months if not years now - I'd like to see something a bit better than "GUI FIXES" every month please...

[mantra]

by the way i hope the image engine is bug free right??

because i'm plaing to buy TI9

Most enlightening, though frankly a bit disturbing.

I've been mistakingly working under the impression that restoring sectors byte for byte is the exact behavior that the term 'disk imaging' was coined to describe.

Perhaps you'd care to disclose in a bit more detail what exactly it is that your product actually does?.... because it sounds to me as though it's not really an imaging program at all.

I fully understand that such a 'sector for sector' reproduction is perhaps not always in the end-users' best interests, but w/o at least a selectable user option to work as such, I'm afraid your product packaging & literature are misleading, if not flat-out deceptions.

I guess for every advantage one came up with for sector-by-sector imaging someone could come up with a disadvantage.

Basically, when creating a whole disk image, TI copies the MBR, partition layout plus the data residing on the in-use sectors into a compressed archive file. During a restore, this information is extracted from the archive and reconstructed on the destination drive.

For more details on how TI achieves live "imaging" check out this <technical article by Acronis Technical Director Max Lyadvinsky>.

BTW is better an automatic or manual setting of page (SWAP) file/size setting?

In the early days of Windows, when we had limited amounts of RAM and slow CPUs, I would set up a fixed size Page File. However, now that most of us have 512MB to 1GB of RAM and more CPU power than we can shake a stick at, I leave it up to Windows XP to manage the Page File automatically.
