    Hi,

    I am using the above combination, I have the kernel sources installed, made a mrproper / cloneconfig / modules_prepare config and tried to recompile / reinstall trueimage, which worked well under 10.0.

    Just calling trueimage-setup leads to a segmentation fault.

    Calling trueimage-setup --norpm (as mentioned in another thread) builds the module, stops at 100 % and advises to consult the log files.

    Those are:

    - /var/log/trueimage-setup.log
    - /var/lib/dkms/snapapi26/0.6.7/build/make.log

    which are attached and listed---due to the one file max limit---to this posting.

    Help.

    Cheers
    Vince

    Is it not possible to solve this issue? I really need the functionality ... and I paid a lot of money for the software ... any ideas?

    Cheers

    Hi,

    no, I am terribly sorry: I didn't receive any answer yet.

    I also contacted - or tried to do so - Acronis. I mailed them, used the support form, tried the phone numbers that are on their web site and wrote a letter - not a single reply.

    I find this very strange ... I used to heavily promote these guys, but if this is the way customers are treated, I rather doubt to continue with that ... especially as the Linux version costs hell of a money ... :-(

    We are sorry for the delayed response.

    Hi,

    thank you for your support so far.

    But honestly: This is an outrage, a mess, a desaster.

    I contacted the support on the 3rd of July 2006 - and today (2006-09-09) I got a reply.

    And the only option the support proposes is to provide seperate snapapi modules for my system.

    I thought buying such an extremely expensive solution would at least include the support for upcoming versions of the operating system. It is not plausible in any way why it should not be provided.

    I even - for a second - considered buying the upgrade to version 9.1. But even the upgrade is so f...unny expensive (two thirds of the retail price) that it's not even worth spending a thought about it ... to get a running TrueImage server would have cost me 1,000 USD in a roughly two years time ... what do the guys from the marketing / pricing department think the users are?

    I really want an updated version or I want to return the software and want to have my money back.

    Completely frustrated and disappointed

    Hello vincent-de,

    Please accept our apologies for the delay with the response.

    Please note that as Marina Fadeeva explain in the e-mail Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Linux is not developed anymore. Therefore, the only workaround we can offer is to provide you with updated snapapi modules.

    We are truly sorry that you encountered the problem with using Acronis True Image and hope that you will be able to solve this issue with help of Acronis Support Team.

    Thank you.

    The team is now very helpful as they provide new modules every fortnight in order to meet the new kernel.

    But honestly: Although 8.0 might no longer be developed you should follow one out of several possible options:

    1. Provide a "final release" which incorporates the new modules and which compiles easily under new kernels.

    2. Provide a download facility for the new modules, which allow the customer to incorporate them himself

    3. Offer a "reasonable" upgrade path to the new version.


    As I stated earlier, I paid 600 EUR for the 8.0 this year and a few months after I am not able to use the software? And an upgrade would cost another 400 EUR? Do you really think that this is customer service? Where is my investment protection? Besides this: The upgrade should cost something like 100 or 150 EUR maximum!
