acronis says 9 days to complete

true image 9.5 echo ws w/ur v9.5 build 8018 reporting 9 days to recover the image stored on a windows home network, i have upgraded the mobo to msi 975 pue v2.1 and setup intel raid 0 [have the floppy and driver cd], the screen just freezes when you select the target file and select next.

 

Hello Mac25,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Remote Workstation Disk Backup Software.

Could you please clarify, are you using Acronis True Image Echo Workstation from Windows, or booting with Acronis Bootable Rescue Media?

Thank you.

the images were created from a intel 945pvs mobo, i installed a Msi 975PUE mobo, using the bootable cd created with true image 9.1 ws with universal restore i attempted to restore the image from a windows home network computer where i have a dedicated backup hard drive, it showed 9 hours to complete and rising after about 40 minutes i cancelled the task, i tried again with acronis true image 9.5 echo workstation with universal restore [the cd was made from another work station computer] and it halted because of error but its time was way up also, i tried it with cds made with universal restore and without, no luck!!!!!!!!!!

since i could not get acronis to restore the image with/without universal restore the only choice i had was to reload.
1.UR could not find drivers from the OScd or windows.
[PCI\VEN_197B&DEV_2361&SUBSYS_72461462&REV_2]
2. there were other drivers as well, when the error occured i had to reboot, again i would retry, acronis would error again that the image was now corrupt, i had 7 images, the result was the same from all, apparently acronis corrupted the images after the first attempt.

all images were kept on an a non OS internal hard drive, after a creation i verified that image.

WHERE is the best place to keep an image, internal HD, external HD, another computer that is networked, DVDs [not really a choice for me as the images are @ 30-60 GB].

i would like a simple solution to a backup/restore software that doesnt require a degree in computer scripting/coding and the use of DOS commands, i cannot dedicate HOURS/DAYS to bring a workstation back on line.

the chipsets are not that far apart in technology, intel 945 and intel 975, the only thing that was different between the two were a different hard drive and motherboard, everything else was the same.

i did try to boot into safe mode, same result as windows, screen would freeze and computer would lock up and not respond.

a repair install left the computer scrambled with left over trash, both in windows and the registry.
