Errors in Backup

I am having the same problems as others on this forum are reporting I am using the trial version 9.0 (build 2,323). I haven't been able to get a back up without errors. I am backing up to an external hard drive. Now, I have 7 days left on my trial period. I really would like to purchase True Image, but I shall not unless I can get an error free backup.

 

What are the errors? Backup to USB and Firewire can be problematic.
Please explain the errors and hardware used. Then someone can help you.

 

Hello Creecher,

Thank you for your interest in Acronis Disk Backup Software.

Could you please provide us with the more detailed information on the problem?

What operating system you use?

What are the exact vendor, model and connection type of your external hard drive?

What exact error messages have you received? When exactly have you received them?

Do you encounter the same problem trying to create an image when your PC is booted from Bootable Rescue CD created using the latest build (2323) of the free trial version of Acronis True Image 9.0?

Please describe actions taken before the problem appears step-by-step.

Thank you.

Tried doing a backup on my internal hard drive; tried doing a backup with my anti-virus and firewall disabled; guess what, I am still getting errors when I check. I am running Windows Professional with SP2.

 

Did you try setting compression level to normal or low?

 

Have you checked the integrity of your drive (all partitions)by running chkdsk X: /R where X is the drive letter for the partition. When you do the active partition, usually C:, you will have to reboot the PC as requested to get it to finish.

 

Tried without compression still got reported errors.

Hello creecher,

If you haven't already done so, download and run <Memtest86+> for a couple of hours. You should get zero errors reported. Any errors and you've got either a flaky RAM module or are using too aggressive memory timings and/or frontside bus frequency.
