I'd like to know what the difference between running a clone action, and doing a full image backup is on Acronis
About four months ago, I had a 160gb hard drive in Win XP. I had an old copy of Acronis True Image-8. Not knowing much about what I was...
Aha. So, I'd better use the latest first. Thanks for that. It's interesting that it will find the others.
I have a big, full backup. Archive size is about 30gb. I have several additional incremental backups. Their size is generally about 1gb....
OK. Just completed a backup. Does this look right? backup 10 22 10 22 08 (done yesterday) 31gb backup...
I have Win XP, with TI 8 on it. When doing a full image: do incremental backups go to separate files? Or, do it all stay with the full image one?
Hey---great. Got a neat little world with "A" in it circling around in tool tray. Thanks for the info.
No signs of it in tool tray or scanning. I'll try rebooting right now and see if that changes it. Thanks.
Just started with Avast. I don't see it doing anything on my pc. Is this normal? It could well be doing it's job. It doesn't sign incoming or...
I'm reading this. In other words I may have everything backwards. The full backup will contain everything, then?
No. You're right. Maybe I don't understand the Acronis clone. I'm thinking the Acronis clone is a virtual image (which is why it can be on...
Great info. Thanks. Does the external usb need to be at least your main machine hard drive size for the clone?
I finally got my machine to where I now have an 80gb usb hard drive. If I understand clones (used true image backup before), I can make a usb...
You're right. I tried to do the clone under the Acronis on my hard drive. What is the clone feature for in the Acronis main program if it...
OK. I'm a bit of a nebbish at this stuff.... Exactly what kind of cards should I look for? What are key terms in the labels? You mention...
Nothing with the word "enhanced".
The USB port has only a reference to root hubs and Rev 5 under the USB header. Nothing with the numeral two on it. Maybe I'm going to have to...
}}} Did you disconnect the original boot drive before rebooting with the 160GB drive? {{{ I didn't. Acronis seemed to be on autopilot, so...
I have a 21gb drive C, run WinXP, and use Acronis 8.0 A few weeks back, I used my full disk image backup on my external USB drive g to restore...
Brian---I think what I'm hearing is that Acronis can keep me straight while I'm using two hard drives in one pc case (drives C and D), and cloning...
Great info! Thanks. I read the multi-boot essay and appreciated the link to it. Looks like the main safe way to use cloning is to do it to...
Running WinXP and have a custom two hard drive pc. One hard drive is 20gb, the other 160gb. I'm fixing to change the 20gb drive to an 80gb...
More good info. Thanks. What's happened is my pc had a power supply and motherboard failure a week ago. I had just done a routine full hard...
Got it. That's good news!
Thanks. Appreciate the info and thread link. I further take it that actually it doesn't matter what you have on the hard drive to be restored,...
