Hello Mhallerman,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup software

It seems that some additional information needs to be analysed for identifying the cause of this error.

Please create Acronis Report and Windows System Information as it is described in Acronis Help Post

Then submit a request for technical support. Attach all the collected files and information to your request along with error screenshot, the step-by-step description of the actions taken before the problem appears and the link to this thread.

Thank you

Will do that - thank you Eugene.

Eugene,

Just submittted a ticket with the requested info. Note - when running the Acronis Rpt util got an error with that as well, though it did seem to create an output file which I also sent.

Regards,
Mark.

Marat,

This is getting a bit silly - all I get are emails from different support reps asking me for the numbers and case history, which I keep supplying.

So far, there are two because of all the multiple reps [FONT=&quot]and seemingly not too much coordination:
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
Acronis #[/FONT][FONT=&quot]1179029
Acronis #1178139

Regards,
Mark.

Bump - any word Acronis guys/gals?

Thanks,
Mark.

 

Well, now I'm convinced of something others have put forward - that Acronis is using the early adopters of TI 11, such as myself, as beta testers for a product not yet ready for release.

My message from Yuri at customer support this am told me to do the following to use Try & Decide:

1. Track changes on system partition only - I already use that option.
2. Disable NOD32 - is he kidding?

Another very dissapointed customer in Acronis.

 

Hello mhallerman,

Please notice that temporarily disabling NOD32 is needed to determine if the issue encountered is caused by compatibility problems with it. Then, depending of the outcome, we can proceed investigating the reason, or start solving the compatibility problem.

Thank you.

Marat,

Very well, thank you. I will try that - but please note that it was quite unclear from the support response to me that this was a troubleshooting step only, so I could only read from the way it was worded that this was the proposed "solution".

Will attempt and let you know.

Thanks,
Mark.
