    Sorry if this query is a repeat.

    The hard drive on which Acronis True Image (9.0) was installed crashed (i.e., C-drive; same drive on which OS is installed, of course). On this PC, I have two separate drives, each of which has its own OS (XP PRO). And both had Acronis TE (9.0) installed, too. Problem is: the 2nd drive/OS I'm forced to use now has month-old versions of True Image Active Tasks.

    I use True Image to back up every day and frequently make changes to the the Active Tasks. It will take me a LONG TIME to figure out the difference between the month-separated versions of Active Tasks (i.e. changes to Source Files Selection).

    The "good" news is, I can access the crashed drive to some extent. If the Active Tasks are kept in, say, Program Files\TrueImageHome, I may be able to install those files onto the uncrashed drive's Program Files\TrueImageHome directory. Is this possibile?

    Also, I would like to know which (and how to) back up True Image files *themselves* for various Active Tasks one has created/scheduled. Is there a "default" way of doing this?

    Thx

    I need to have a solution to this issue rather quickly. Can someone from the Acronis Support Staff step in to help? (Much appreciated!)

    If you're talking about the scripts for the scheduled tasks, try here: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImage\Scripts

    Thank you!

    Swapping the files didn't work (caused "Invalid script error") -- perhaps there is some other cross-checking routine that TI runs to validate *these* files??

    Acronis Support: is there a work-around solution? Can one smoothly backup True Image Active Tasks? If not, I would *really* appreciate this feature to be offered in a future TI update.
