Acronis True Image 11 Home and Vista 64bit

Hello. Looking in to purchasing Acronis True Image 11 Home. Currently have a RAID1 (hardware RAID), setup running Vista 64bit on two terabyte HDD's. Will ATI 11 Home work with 64bit? I simply would like to make an image of this setup I currently have. Acronis only mentions "Vista", but does not show which version (32bit or 64bit). Does it matter?

 

REgardless whether ATI11 works on Vista64, the key will be if the bootCD will see your drives and read/write them so that you can perform a restore. You can take the website's word for it, you have to go theorugh the motions of a restore to know for usre. The boot Cd works under linux and uses linux drivers, such as they are.

Having RAID isn't particularly an issue, however, ATI11 (build 8053) isn't able to deal with some Intel chipset sets and some mobos.

In the event that the ATI bootCD doesn't see or read/write all of yur drives, you can build a VistaPE Boot Disk--search this forum for "free guide vistape"

 

Thank you. I have an ASUS board with dual AMD QUAD FX's. Shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you. I was able to clone my Vista 64bit with True Image 11 Home (trial verison), but not able to figure out how to simply make an image file of the OS. I made the boot CD and thought that I could do it there, but couldn't find where I could go to do this! Please inform me on how this is done. This will be the deciding factor on whether or not I will purchase Acronis T.I 11 Home.
