Acronis True Image Home 2009 with Windows 7

I've installed Win 7 twice and to each install I've successfully installed ATI 2009 with no hiccups whatsoever. The backups and re-installs of the OS [Win 7] have succeeded with no problems.

 

Did you get it to install to the 64 bit version?

 

I appreciate what you say about speed, though this issue if an issue at all is somewhat governed by ones hardware. Certainly speaking for myself using a Quadcore processor and 3 gig of RAM Vista is very fast indeed so I can see little benefit to be gained by me upgrading to W7. As for the UI - I'm not that keen on the changes in the beta version so far - mind you there's no Aero Glass which I like very much and wouldn't want to lose this effect.

 

There's no Aero Glass? I don't think you've played around with the beta enough than? Actually, Windows 7 features almost any new UI feature introduced in Windows Vista, except they are improved and more polished - all using less resources.

The only con about Windows 7 so far? No x64 support for Acronis True Image Home 2009! Asides from that mate, I'd recommend you give it another try. It's certainly better than Windows Vista in almost all facets - including performance, no matter your hardware.

 

Well there may be Aero but as I'm running it in MS VPC I obviously haven't allocated enough RAM to it so it is not running by default plus being in VPC it's nowhere near as fast as Vista. I'm certainly not keen on the task bar though. I simply cannot see a justification for spending another £70 on an OEM version when it's released.

 

hi, Jimrx4!
Did you install Win 7 beta on top of your Win Vista ?
Or did you do a clean install of your Win 7 beta?
Thank you.

 

I have now installed W7 on my backup PC over the top of Vista - everything installed OK with the exception of just one upgrade I need to download for Daemon Tools. All my previous programmes are working just fine. W7 seem to use a little bit less resource wise, other than that I'd be hard pressed to tell if I was running Vista or W7

 

I made a post that I had no problem(s) with ATI 2009(32-bit) & Win 7. Difficulties are now arising. Has anyone been able to mount an image with ATI 2009 being installed in Windows 7? I'm getting the dreadful "Can not assign a drive letter to image..." when I try. This was first and only install of ATI 2009 so anyone venture what's wrong?

 

Sorry for this 2nd post but I forgot to mention that my install of Windows 7 was "a clean install" not an upgrade.

 

Actually if you click OK enough times, a mount will happen, however something in Windows 7 then auto-unmounts it.

What doesn't work at all, is selecting a differential to be mounted, TI spits the dummy and demands Image 1.

However, if the image is mounted from within XP, works as advertised.

Personally, until W7 gets to the RC version, I'm not too concerned about how TI reacts, as there is definitely bits still missing in W7 - Sync won't work with my phone, MS mail is missing (not that in real life i use that)?, Local area Connection doesn't notify properly(but works) and annoyingly unless I switch of UAC, TI is considered an application that does nasty things - which is an experiement I said I'd do but haven't, switch of UAC and see if mounting then works correctly.

I think I've tracked down the cause of the non mounting problem in W7 and is probably part of the reason why MS Home Server won't mount an image.

The error source in Windows Event properties is Ntfs with an Event ID of 136.

This Event ID relates to MS Server products, and has a different ID under XP.

The ID error code relates to the TIMEDATE function of Windows file management as far as mounting a disk is concerned.

Basically from what I can tell, it gets upset at the idea of mounting a drive that has a different time or date to that which had been entered into registry when the system boots up - obviously mounting a TIB file won't work properly as it hasn't been accounted for by current control set as the registry is loaded.

Of course I could be talking balderdash, but that is the conclusion my research has led to.

Switching UAC off made no difference.

I have Acronis True Image Home 2009 (build 9709) successfully installed on Windows 7 64-bit edition (it works on build 7041 but no other previous build as far as I can see). I would expect it to work on the RC build when available.

This is good news - build 7041 would be nice to have

 

Hello all,

Thank you for your interesting in Acronis True Image

Officially none of the Acronis software supports Windows 7, so we can’t analyze or perform any diagnostic regarding this question/issue.

Best regards,

Following the updates MS jave released this week for Windows 7 I can now succesfully install and run TI 2009.9709 on the 32b bit version of Windows 7 build 7000.

It will still not install on the 64 bit public beta version (build 7000) unless anyone else has a plan that works

 

I have successfully installed latest Acronis True Image 2009 on Windows 7 build 7048 x64. Problem solved.

 

But for most people that is not an option as we don't hav eaccess to anything beyond build 7000 of Windows 7.

 

Release candidate is coming in a few weeks, it supposed to be public.

 

I can also confirm that I have successfully managed to install Acronis True Image 2009 on Windows 7 build 7057 *64 - which did not install on build 7000.
Hopefully this will continue in future W7 builds.

 

I've been having the same mounting issue with ATI 2009 on Windows 7 32-bit Release Candidate (7100) - the image will mount, but then be dismounted a few moments later. It's a royal pain, to say the least.

I haven't yet tried uninstalling ATI 2009 and using a trial version of ATI 11, I'm worried that the images may get corrupted given that they were created using ATI 2009.

Otherwise ATI 2009 is working fine, besides ocassionally crashing, taking far too long to open certain windows, and being unable to clone a partition from within Windows (I had to use the boot disk).

 

Another issue:

For some reason the scheduled tasks I create never actually start. I originally thought it was because I didn't have my external HDD plugged in, but even a task backing up to an internal drive (Acronis SecureZone) isn't starting when it should - I keep having to start it manually.

 

Now that Windows 7 is RTM, is there any word on whether these issues have been fixed?

 

I saw a note from Acronis in another post, that they intend to 'update' 2009 to be W7 mountable - though as 2010 is due about then as well, which does mount, who knows?

I haven't tried to the ASZ with W7 and 2009, so don't know if you are a 1-off or if it's a common problem.

 

Hello all,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

The correct operations are not guaranteed on Windows 7. We are planning to release updates for our current products to fully support Microsoft Windows 7 after the official release.

Thank you.
