It doesn't matter. When you do the restore of the C: partition it will ask you what type of partition you want to restore the image to, select...
As long as you delete the FAT partition (temporarily), so the C: partition has unallocated space adjacent to it, you'll be able to accomplish what...
You will still have to resize it, the default size will be the same size as the partition you backed up with the disk image operation. As long as...
If you can live without the FAT partition temporarily I think you could use this approach: 1. backup the FAT partition (you may already have...
I may be wrong, but I seem to remember reading here that network based backups are not all that reliable with TI, so I'm not surprised. Even if...
Its hard to say for sure, but what appears to be happening is the C: partition has the FAT partition between it and the unallocated space. You...
It may sound a bit extreme at first, but as we have been saying all along, what you're trying to accomplish with any image restoration from a boot...
Unfortunately this is not uncommon with external USB drives, as you may already know. In his last post Grover referenced a recent problem I...
I found this forum and listened to peoples complaints, just like I'm listening to yours now. I stand corrected, that does suck. And just to...
The car analogy was simply to suggest that no product is without defects, regardless of price. I'm not defending Acronis in this discussion,...
BBarry, I understand your frustration and I'm not disagreeing with your sentiment, but the reality of this situation is this: If your...
A few minor points and suggestions: 1. From your figures I get 349MB/minute or roughly 3x faster than Acronis rather than 7. 2. I have...
I think the short answer is yes, it is possible. The real question would be is it worth the trouble to do it and be sure it will work. As...
The other way around, you can do the image backups with Windows running as Acronis can lock down any partition and copy it elsewhere to do the...
I use the home version with both IDE and SATA drives and it works OK for me, and I'm sure most other people have the same experience. If Acronis...
I always do restores without bothering to validate the archive first, as I never seemed to have any problems with archive files or the restore...
I don't know if its normal, but it doesn't sound like anything to worry about. However, you can do the image step while the OS is running, no...
Ah, I just noticed you did a recent edit, I thought I was going crazy because there was a mention about the M: partition before that is no longer...
Thanks for the link Brian, that helped explain things very well. I find these topics interesting, and relatively easy to understand once you find...
It took a little time for it to sink in, but I finally realized that once the image is captured, the registry state will be saved at that time....
OK, now I get it. By doing the restore via the boot disk the OS isn't running, therefore it can't see the new partition during the restore. So...
OK, explain something to me that I don't seem to understand. I thought the 'docking station' appears just as any other USB HD to the OS. If I...
Brian, Any idea why he didn't run into the drive letter issue using that method?
If you don't have another working computer on which to install Acronis and make the boot disk, you will just need to re-install Windows and any...
You boot the computer with the same Acronis disk that you used to install TI with (if you bought the boxed version). If you downloaded TI and...
