True Image 11 (Home) hangs is Vista

This is my first post, so a quick introduction, I am now almost a silver surfer, however I have been using computers since 1986, so not exactly a novice.
The problem, I have True Image 10 installed on my XP Desktop, which was upgrades to Vista (not a clean install) and all was well. When I clean installed Vista I installed True Image 11, however it was determined to hang, I carried out the updates, reboots etc, however it would hang part way through every time, and would not even close. I uninstalled 11 and put True Image 10 on, and it runs perfectly - Any answers please!!

 

Make sure you have the latest build of ver. 11.

But if ver. 10 works, why go to ver. 11?

 

Welcome to the forum. Many of the forum contributers are probably older than your silver surfer. Check the link below. There may be something of assistance.

Thank you for the replies, yes the latest version was installed, which is why I an confused that when I upgraded to 11 it does not work, yet 10 does?

Last week I spent my time uninstalling version 10 (which was working) and installing version 11 as requested, carrying out the upgrades and then gathering the information (again as requested). Yet a simple request as how to attach the attachments and 6 days later and no reply.
If by this weekend (4 April) I do not have a response I will have remove it from my system as I will need to carry out a back up again.

 

Hi Jimmyb I am amazed somebody has jumped in here to help, I have not attached a file for some time so I can only point you in the right direction, Reply to this thread again and when the "reply to thread" window opens, click on the paper clip "just to the smiley face at the top" and then a window should open browse toward the file and then click on "upload" ( remember I am going from memory and an old one at that!) Hope this helps. Good luck to you.

 

I am having the same problem backing up data. I was able to back up my boot drive with no problem, but when I try to back up my second internal drive (data only), True Image 11 hangs after about 20 minutes, after backing up about 46GB out of 183GB. . I am running Vista Ultimate 32-bit on a fast quad-core PC with 4GB of RAM. The Acronis online chat agent suggested trying the backup, booting from the CD instead. This will help determine if a service in Vista is causing the lockup. Stay tuned...

 

Hello all,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

sdcolor, could you please do the following to work around the problem?

- Run Backup Wizard;

- As soon as "Choose Backup Options" window appears, select "Set the options manually";

- In the "Backup Creation Options" window set "Compression level" to "None";

- Proceed with the backup.

Please see the article Acronis True Image 11 Home Freezes During "Files and folders" or "System State" Backup for more information.

Jimmyb, if you try to backup files and folders, the same workaround can be applied in your case also.

Thank you.

I have carried out the "work around" and indeed TI 11 does back up my files. However it is a little disappointing that a flaw is known, and a work around is required, that means one of the main functions (compression) does not work. If I wished to have non-compressed back ups, I could just copy the the files across!

 

Well, having been email contact with the support, my issue has now been resolved. Anti-virus software (MacAfee in my case being the cause). The solution is install TI 11 first, then install MacAfee, and having carried out this action functionality has now been restored.
