    Hello,
    I have True Image 11 Home. Windows XP Pro O/S. I just did a full backup and cannot access the "explore backup". When I click on it and go to the latest backup, it just flashes and then says "no process started" in the lower right hand corner. this is my second backup, just to see if there was an error in the first one.

    Also, is there a way to automatically getting rid of the old backups?


    Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on this problem.

    Thanks,

    cbstiff

    Hello cbstiff,

    Thank you for using Acronis True Image

    Have you validated the archive for corruption? If not, please check the integrity of the archive by means of the Backup Archive Validation Wizard.

    If the backup file contains the entire partition, please try to mount the archive. Let us know the results.

    Also, please make sure that you are using the latest build of Acronis True Image 11 Home #8101. If the build number differs from the latest one, please download and install the latest build. You can learn more on how to download the latest build here

    Thank you.

    Oleg Lee,

    I did validate the backup. I also downloaded the latest build. Still doesn't let me into the backup archive.

    I did mount the archive and I still can't get into it. It assigned letters to the partitions successfully.

    Now what?

    Hello cbstiff,

    Thank you for using Acronis True Image 11 Home

    Make sure that Acronis True Image Backup Archive Explorer is Enabled in Device Manager (Right-click on MY Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Unfold Acronis Devices -> Right-click on Acronis Devices -> Select Acronis True Image Backup Archive Explorer -> Choose Enabled).

    Also make sure that TimounterMonitor.exe process launched (ctrl+alt+del -> task manager -> processes). TimounterMonitor.exe process monitors the mounted images and constantly checks if there is enough space on the storage to save all the changes made to the sectors of the mounted image.

    Make sure that the hard drive doesn’t have file system errors or bad blocks. Do the following to check the disks for errors:

    - Go to the Command Prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
    - Enter the command: "chkdsk DISK: /r" (where DISK is the partition letter you need to check) for every partition that is visible in My Computer. Please note, that checking the C: drive may require you to reboot the machine.

    If the issue persists download Acronis Report utility available at and run it, create a report and attach to your next reply. Please compress the Acronis Report output file into an archive (e.g. with WinZip) This would provide us with detailed information on the hard disk partition structure.

    Best regards,

    Dmitry Nikolaev,

    I have done everything you have told me to do and I still cannot get into the backup. Here is the Acronis Report you requested. I hope it helps.

    Thank you,

    Oleg Lee,

    No, no error message appears. When I try to explore the backup it just flashes real quick (says "processing") and then nothing happens. I uninstalled ATI 11 Home and installed the trial version 2009 and it does the same thing.
    I only have a few days left on the trial version. Should I reinstall my 11 version?

    Thank you,

    cbstiff

    Hello cbstiff,

    Let's completely remove the program from your PC then check if the issue occurs after reinstallation.

    Please remove the program via Add or Remove Programs option in Windows control panel. After uninstallation, please uninstall values from registry and device manager as it is described in this article in our Knowledge Base.

    Thank you.
