    It is under "process protection", the icon that looks like a carved-out pumpkin

    Been doing some testing of the SAM protection. Terabytes Image for Windows is fine. Drive Snapshot failed. Eventviewer just said it couldn't access the SAM file. I'll retest Acronis for you. Nothing in event viewer from last time as I did a Macrium "uninstall"

    I'm still on build 720. To install the new 723 RC, do I still have to jump through the above hoops (and which ones), or can I simply install 723 over 720?

    Thanks.

    (1) Before the uninstallation of Build 720, disable "Block Untrusted Fonts"
    (2) then deinstall Build 720 and before rebooting remove the folder C:\ProgramData\HitmanPro.Alert
    (3) reboot
    (4) install Build 723

    Yes, @mood, I followed your guide to install the 723RC--Block Untrusted Fonts tile was gone from the interface altogether. The Credential Theft Protection was enabled, so enabled the SAM as well. It's Halloween every day at HMPA, it seems.

    More testing on the SAM file. Acronis True Image Home 2018 is good Full and incremental are fine. So far Drive snapshot is my only failure. If your curious about AOEMI just test it. Worst hat can happen is a failed backup. No other harm.

    What do you use for imaging?

    On the secondary machine with the beta? Nothing, no imaging.

    On primary machine, I use no betas but have an SSD that doesn't have full compatibility with Creators Update. So, no imaging there either, and I really need it there. I'm looking at your review of Terabytes, I think I'll try that instead of Macrium, which had multiple errors in event viewer the two times I tried to use it. :)

    Do you have an idea why with the first test Acronis True Image Home 2018 was blocked, but not with the second test? What was different? Was SAM enabled with the first series of tests, but not with the second series of tests?
    And also, did IFW not fail the second test?

    If you are happy with it you can use it on both machines, and be sure to check out Pandlouks scirpts. They are beyond awesome.

    I think they did some silent update on 721 4 hours after I tested.

    Good summary, thanks. I'll make my way through the open windows and tabs and then follow the updating procedure.

    Haven't been testing the HMPA betas, but thinking about trying out the RC. Still running HMPA 3.6.7 b604. Are there any known issues running HMPA RC 723 with VoodooShield 3.59?

    Tested AOMEI Backupper and it failed with SAM ticked.

    @RonnyT Can you add Drive Snapshot and AOMEI Backupper to the exclusions?

    AOMEI Backupper mitigation result:

    Hi Paul

    If you only image once a day or week, the you can just untick the one box, image and then retick. The reason it's so important to me is I Image with Macrium hourly and with IFW, not hourly but several times a day on my work machine, so it has to be transparanent. I may also go back to adding Acronis to the frequent list. You might note, all three of these programs have fast incremental imaging.

    I get that. I generally image nightly, and before significant changes.

    I am happy to leave SAM unticked, but maybe they can add DS and AOMEI as they are used a lot.

    Up until yesterday I always left it unticked. Since they have Macrium, Acronis, and IFW, I'll bet they will add the others.

    Hello,

    Hi Saenta

    Go to the yellow box, and then to Credential protection. Untick the SAM box and you will be fine.
