'Corrupt' image in Acronis SZ using TI8

I've just created a SZ & saved an image of my boot partition to it. The final message says 'Image Created Successfully' but when I use Check Image it says 'Image Corrupted'. Does anyone have a suggestion? Perhaps the image will be good enough to restore the partition when needed?
Many thanks
John

 

The official response will include downloading the latest trial version. But if the build number of that TI8 is 937, you shouldn't be getting that message.

Don't count on the Image being good to Restore until you actually do it.

My suggestion would be to get a second hard drive and actually do the Restore to it - not to your present C drive.

 

Hi, I also have Verification errors. I just installed the latest Build of TI9 3567. Backup to a USB2 HD works OK, but Verify (auto after backup or manual) Always pops up "Error, Archive is Corrupted". I stoped Spybot 1.3 and McAfee 10.0.27 and rebooted, but still the same error.

I have a USB Mouse & Printer attached in addition to the WD USB hard drive, with XP Home SP2 and all updates.

Thanks

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the info. I was premature in contacting Acronis about the problem. I tried to copy a 5GB folder full of files and it fails as well. The external drive is a WDXUL2500BBNN USB2 250 GB hrad drive. I have been working on the proble for a few days now, and it seems that it is either the USB Driver/BIOS/Hardware or something in the BIOS Setup or possibly a bad drive.

FYI: The transfer to the USB Hard Drive (NTFS format) randomly stops at anywhere between 2-5 GB or about 2-15 min. SInce this makes an incoplete file, the checksum and file is correctly reported by TI8.

Consider the issue with Acronis settled until I fix The large file transfer to the drive problem.

Thanks again for your response.

Dear Alexey Popov

Thanks for info. I burnt the same image to removable DVD's while Windows was running normally and the 'Check Image' came back as 'Verified'. So, it looks as if I will be able to restore the image when necessary from DVD's. But, I still don't understand why the same image in SZ is 'Corrupt'?

Many thanks

John
