True Image Home 10 Vista 64 Question.

Does anyone have TI-10 Home installed on a Vista64 machine and working properly?

I have it installed on XP and everything works perfectly as advertised.

When I intsall on Vista64 it installs fine, backups report completed. BUT when doing a restore or validating the backup they are reported as corrupt?

Can someone that has vista64 report if they are having any problems?

 

bump, anybody?

 

bump again?

 

My interpretation of the V10 datasheet is that TI is not explicitly supported on Vista64.

For XP, the datasheet states both XP and XP x64 as platforms, but for Vista it only states "Windows Vista".

I have it running
I haven't done a restore but it validates OK

 

My guess is that they have formally tested it on Vista x32, and are hoping that it works OK on x64 - relying on the customer base of beta testers as they usually do to determine its compatibility with x64.

Dare you to do a restore

Never play with fire unless you get thrown into the furnace

 

Except unless he proved he can restore, there is not point even backing up.
As it happens validation errors are being reported so there is not point in trying anyway.

Thank you for the response, now all the time I have invested in trying to get it work properly was not a total waste.

Back to trying to solve the problem.

BTW: My System

Vista 64 Bit
QX6600 ruining 11 x 345 (3.8g)
2gig PC8500 Running 1200mhz
Nvidia 7950GTX

First Raid: Two 150gig Western Digital 10K Sata Rapters in RAID
Second Raid: Two 150gig Western Digital 10K Sata Rapters in RAID

External eSata: One 150gig Western Digital 10K Sata Rapters

I know I'm overclocked but very stable.

As stated above booting to the first RAID which is XP 32, TI 10 works flawlessly.

The second raid has Vista64 installed and will not validate or recover at current clock speeds or "stock" speeds.

Two things I haven't tried while in Vista64 is:
1. Just backup the the Vista64 Drive / Partition only.
2. Just backup the XP 32 Drive / Partition Only.

If you have any other suggestion feel free to post.

Again thanks in advance

He has already said he gets file corrupted so it would be pointless him trying
until he at least gets Validation OK.

My backup validates OK (which was the answer to BN's original question)so I will bite the bullet when I have to, if it doesn't work then Tough!

Yeah, each to their own. I use the same philosophy on one of my systems.

1. What happens if you validate from the rescue disk ?
2. Why not try (if only to rule it out) backing up and verifying whilst not overclocked
3. Try running memtest. It is surprising how often RAM turns out to be the cause of validation errors - especially when they appear under windows.

F.

 

Great suggestion, I have tried not while overclocked but the ram was still pumped up, I will revisist that test.

I will also try verifying via resecue disk.

Again thanks, and if you think of any more I will try them all.

 

Foghorne makes some good points. Memory and memory timing are critical to TI. You shouldn't overclock when backing up or validating with TI. That's just expecting too much.

It could be that the combination of a 64 bit system with 2 GB of ram is causing your problem. If I were you, I would pull 1 GB of ram out of the machine and try again without any overclocking. If that doesn't solve the problem, I would try slowing down the memory in the BIOS.

 

Sorry, but I am a bit confused.

From what I gather TI 10 Home does install on Vista 64 and appears to work correctly.

Has anyone restored any data? Not the whole recovery process but just some files?

I like to use the "secure zone" as well.

Thanks,
Bob

 

Hi.

I only use ATI for full image backups and restores. I can confirm that v10 works on 64 bit Vista (Ultimate edition).

My hardware is as following:
AMD 64x2 4400+
4 GB of ram
300 GB Internal SATA II
250 GB Internal SATA II

My Vista is on 250 GB drive that I backup to the 300 GB drive... I have 32 bit XP on the 300 GB drive that I backup (when it's running) to the 250 GB Vista drive.

Backups are of course made on different partitions on the drives than where the actual OS is installed.

I run all the backups (and have run the restores also) from the Windows and not on the resque media.
