Not a TI Home Archive!

Folks,

I have just started testing (on behalf of a major corporate) TI Home V9.

I have made backup images of ENTIRE disks to an external NAS disk but am unable to restore from them. When I perform the archive selection within the Restore Data Wizard I get the message "The selected file is not an Acronis True Image Home archive". I get the same message when I use the Backup Archive Validation Wizard. BTW the actual file name is Mtest.tib

Any ideas or suggestions?

TI 9.3567 has a new file format from all earlier versions of TI 9 and TI 8. If you check the archive with one of the earlier versions or with a Recovery CD made with one of the earlier versions, you will get that message.

If you are using only version 9.3567, then try making an image on a local hard drive partition and checking that. Some NAS devices have problems with very large files such as backup images.

 

UPDATE: or if u prefer - more info.

I performed a backup of a full disk to an internal drive and it worked fine. I am able to verify and all. I then , under windows (XP Pro) copied the file to my external NAS connected drive and again it verified OK within IT9.

So - I did another disk image backup with IT9 to the external NAS disk and yet again verify failed. So I rebooted using a boot CD I created from within IT9 - well it could not see my NAS disk at all.

Progress- none so far!

==================================
Correct, I am using V9.0 build 3567. When I create the backup image on a local (or internal) drive all seems to work as expected. I have the problem when I attempt to use an external NAS connected drive.
