Does True Image 11 actually work

Hi,

I have downloaded the trial version of True Image 11 as I would like to try it before I buy. But so far I have not been able to do 1 backup at all. No matter which type of backup I choose, the product hangs(have a look at the screen dump attached).

Does the product work at all?. Or what do I do wrong?

Best regards,

I'm having exactly the same problem - I was recommended TrueImage after a couple of cloing issues with Norton Ghost, but this just appears to hang as soon as I click next:

It greys out all the buttons, I can't close the window, nothing. My only option is to go into task manager and end the process. Also, I can't boot from a CD or floppy (before those suggestions come flying in) because I only have two IDE cables on my Shuttle and obviously need both of my drives in to be able to clone them.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - I've been trying to do this for four days!

I only tried what you tried once and it didn't work either. However, I wasn't bothered because I only ever use either Full backup or File & Folders. I think it is hanging because something else is accessing your emails or your email config data somewhere.

Might be an idea to try it from recovery manager or boot CD, when nothing is accessing anything lol.

Apart from that, the software is and has been invaluable to me.

 

This is not your thread.

 

I just left it and after almost 40 minutes it actually notified me it was analyzing my partitions. Looks like it's working now.

 

Look around on this forum for a while...
You can take comfort that you are not the only sucker.

I also never got e-mail backups to work on my PC (did not work on the notebook either...). Pretty much a useless "feature". Support claims that they can not reproduce the problem... lol.

Yes, in my case it works. I made an image of my 3 partition hard drive, about 90 gig total. Restored it to a new drive and it booted and everything was exactly the same as the original drive. It did take three hours to restore using the TI boot disk. I heard it could be faster with a Bart PE boot disk that I now have but haven't tried to restore from.
