Will there be an Acrobat manual for TIH2009?

Is Acronis going to produce an Adobe Acrobat Manual for True Image Home 2009 as they did with previous software versions?

There is no manual to download at the moment on the web site and the Help is very poor.

Sure there is; look here.

Thanks for that.

The only problem now is that the manual only has 2 occurrences of the word "rename".

I read somewhere in a forum here that you should not rename TIB files.

I suppose I will have to test this out.

Try looking at page 88 and following, Removing Backup Archives. Stands to reason this would apply to name changes too.

Thanks. Yes I can now see the logic here.

I only ever run Full Backups and these are always from a boot disk so the metafile never gets populated. I agree that file names in this Metafile can be renamed and removed from the Metafile list of backups. Interestingly these changes dont affect the actual file name or delete the file. So I can rename and delete Full Backup files in MS Explorer.

But if I ever do Incremental backups or Differential backups then these should only be renamed using Acronis True Image 2009.

The removal of the TIB does not work. The following quote from the Acronis Help file says that the archive is removed from the computer. This is not so. Only the entry in the Meta file is removed. There is also a typo -I think that the word "form" should actually say "from" -

Help says "Remove select this item to remove the archive from the computer and form the Acronis True Image Home database."

I have logged this with the Acronis helpdesk but still after 2 weeks I have not heard from my last helpdesk call.
