Hello Andrew,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

Could you please let me know what version (build) of Acronis True Image you use? Did you try to create the image backup from Acronis Bootable CD? What is the size of your hard drive? What informatiom do you store on it?

Thank you.

Hi the version I am using is 8PE. My hard drive is 80GB and the size of the backup file is approx 15gb. I am trying to save backup to DVD RW. I have successfully created the backup cd.

If i try to save to DRD R, i get write errors and the backup stops after 2 of the 3 disks have been written to.

Do i need to switch of antivirus, firewall etc

Regards

Andrew
