I have Windows XP currently installed but I have Win Vista Ultimate 32/64 which I have had installed and may go back to depending on driver issues and other whims. The basic question I have is this software going to bounce me every time I change a component? This computer is a work in progress if you will and hardware will be changed... more drives, maybe a more powerful CPU, memory to 4 or 8 GB, motherboard should stay the same unless it gets fubar in which case I would RMA it (lifetime warranty). So the basic issue is will it be seen as a new system every time I change something? Thank you for any guidance you can provide me.

Peace

If you're asking if TI is going to "fuss" if you change hardware or reinstall the answer is no. You can reinstall TI as many times as you need to. TI does not care about the components changing. However, if you do change the motherboard to a non-identical one, then a backup created on the current board may not restore and run properly on the new board because of driver issues.

 

Maybe I miss posted or am not sure of the terms, when you say TI does that mean Acronis 11 or am I just lost in space as usual?

Acronis 11 is the same as TI 11 which is True Image 11 sometimes refered to as ATI 11.

 

It is not going to bounce you, but you should ensure that each time you change a component you verify an new image from both Windows and the rescue disk. Also, I assume that you will be periodically completing the proof of your DR loop by occaisional test restorations.

Acronis makes several diff products, each with its own version number. One of them is Acronis True Image (ATI) Home and the current release is version 11, build 8053.

As to what version Acronis (the company) is, well some of us are wondering; it doesn't seem to be quite the same version it was a year ago ;-)

 

Thank you everyone, it looks like I'll be buying. I'm glad you all cleared things up for me.

Peace
