Acronis 11 Back Up Problem

I have downloaded Acronis 11 in order to back up my system to dvd. Firstly I couldn't get it to work as the dvd drive just kept opening and spitting out my dvd-r, but then I was told on another thread I posted that windows does not support dvd burning on its own so I might need to download a support pack from microsoft containing dvdburn.exe. I did this and initially it seemed to be working.

However, after nearly 15 minutes the following errors came up:-

Error code 4 (0x70004)
Failed to write data to the archive file.
A possible reason might be poor media quality.:None

Error code 502 (0x101F6)
Operation with partition “C.” was terminated.
Details:
Write error (0x70004)
Tag = 0x9D2DE1F088CBC4D4
Error writing the file. (0x40003)
Tag = 0x15602567D340AB0E

I don't think the media quality would be classed as particularly poor as it is a brand new verbatim dvd-r.

I would therefore be very grateful if anyone understands these error codes and can explain to me where I am going wrong.

Many thanks

 

Not sure the response to your problem but an alternative would be to save the file to another hard drive--or even save it to your Drive C. After the creation of the backup, you could then copy the resulting *.tib files to your DVD as a simple data DVD.

This procedure would require that you choose the backup option "archive splitting" and split the file into 1492MB each. You have to type the size of 1492MB which asked for the size.

 

Thank you for replying. I have in fact already saved it to my d:\ drive in the hope of making a dvd that way, but my dvd burner wouldn't accept it. However, I had not used the archive splitting, just saved it straight there, so will try by archive splitting. Thank you again.
