ATI 10 Upgrade

Running ATI 8 Build 937 for quite a while with no problems. Downloaded ATI 10.0 upgrade. Installed and made recovery CD.

Validated my ATI 8 backup files with ATI 10 and did a restore of some folders that I deleted previously as a test. Everything worked fine. Also did an incremental backup with ATI 10, validated and mounted 2 partitions to check. Again, all OK.

Will be doing a full backup of the 5 partitions on my primary drive in a couple of days. Hope all goes well again.

ATI 10.0 looks good so far.

You're one of the lucky ones. Knock wood quick.

 

I wouldn't consider the posts on this forum to be a statistically unbiased sample. The forum's main function is for people to report problems, not to say how well TI is working.

 

Phil B.:
Can you give us your computer details that works fine w/TI10.
If we know MotherBoard,CPU,HDDs,USB-HDD... ,then we know TI may work properly w/similar configurations.

 

Is that not what a trial version is for ? it cost nothing.

It is, but it also helps to see if I have a component that is known to be problematic.

For the record, ATI 10 works fine here:

Intel D975XBX (BIOS 137
ATI X1950XTX
Intel Core2Duo 6600
Corsair XMS memory (2 X 1 GB)
Seagate 300GB 7200.8 PATA
Seagate 300GB 7200.10/SATA II X 2
Plextor PW-755SA (but I haven't tried backing up directly to optical disc)
Microsoft Windows XP Home edition w/SP-2 and updates

 

Guess I am lucky too as TI10 is so far really working great for me. Still need to explore all the features but the basics I have used so far work great. Actually seems to run much smoother on my system than ver 9 did.

Ran a full backup (5 partitions), validated, mounted and restored 3 folders.
All OK.

I will have to delete one of the partitions and and restore it via the recovery Cd.

I've also used it successfully on Abit AA8-duramax; Abit VT7, IBM/Lenova Model MT- M8143. All of these have one or another mix of Sata 150s and IDE drives.

I initially had a problem with Windows Installer, so I had to uninstall and delete the old Acronis directories -- for some reason the uninstal routine wasn't doing it as it should -- wasn't the first time I had probsl with Windows Installer. Turns out others have too and MS provides a windows installer cleanup tool:

The managed diretories feature is, to me, worth the price of the upgrade to 10.

Are there things still on my wish list? sure. But ATI 10 has enough of what I want to bmake bckups easy and automatic and restores have been relatively simple except for the need to use that darn F11 apci=off noapic entry with the VT7.

 

Hi,just to confirm,Have TIV.8 Built 937 and downloaded TI10 today, will go ahead and install OVER my previous TI8. Is that OK?no need to uninstall V8?
2nd question: looking at the instructions PDF I see the blue main welcome picture is different than V8, not longer Create/Restore Image choices but
Backup/Recovery?
Is Backup option same as Create Image?
Thank you for your help.
Apologize for this simple question, I searched prior posts and just couldnt find an answer.

It usually works to install over the old with ATI 10, however, if the windows installer isn't working right, you can have some problems.

I think the best thing is to install over the old, if everything seems to work, fine. If you have a problem, then uninstall and reboot and then check that the following directories are deleted by the uninstall:

program files\Acronis
program files\common files\acronis
documents and settings\all users\application data\acronis

If those directories are left behind, then delete them before installing/reinstalling ATI 10.
