I upgraded to this just the other day, however what annoys the Hell out of Me is that when I sign into My account, a Red dot on the User Account of Acronis GUI comes up, and on looking it says My Cloud backup expires in 22 days. Considering I never bought the cloud backup part, I don't know why this would be? If I sign out of My account t goes away but acronis asks me to sign in the next time I open it. I've asked Acronis and they're either dead or disfucnt because nobodies answering on the forum or answering support tickets. So does anyone know how to delete or get rid of this pest?
Its most likely a FREE TRIAL for the service... it should disappear in 22-days Either that or search deep in your SETTINGs...
I have a question about ATI 2016. I installed the trial. Taking a manual base image is easy, but how on earth does one just manually take an incremental
Good question, these guys really dumbed down the interface... If you made the full backup without changing any options, you will have used the incremental scheme. By default this scheme makes one full backup plus five incrementals, then it will do another full backup. So just do another backup, and this will be an incremental. To change these backup schemes you have to click on "Options" before making the backup and set up a different scheme which is more to your liking. I really hate this way of managing backups, but it might appeal to users who do not want to get into backup options at all. But to be fair, Macrium 6 also makes it hard to just manually do an incremental after a full backup. If you declined the option to save the backup settings as an XML file during the full backup, your only way to make an incremental will be to select "Restore", highlight the desired full backup and specify an incremental. Also not too intuitive... Cheers manolito
That's true... but if the user reads the User's Manual, there'a a wealth of information on making that process much easier. I have a ShortCut on my Desktop that when invoked, offers me a small window asking me for the type of image I wanna do and gives me the opportunity to COMMENT it if I wish. OK that and it's off and running. Yes, you do need to create a DEFINITION... how else does the poor imager know what to image when you're asking for any type of image
Thanks Manolito I have to say, I am totally unimpressed with the desktop version, but I've been playing with the linux recovery environment. Some downsides are it won't run from USB, but the CD boot is very fast. No verifiy, but then I couldn't find a way to mount the image in the desktop version. Speed was very very good for a standard imager. Full image was 18 minute, restore was 15 minutes, but the incrementals are only 3 minutes and that is impressive. But overall they sure have turned the Desktop version into a hot mess. Also they are pushing there cloud so agressively it sure is a turn off.
Hi Peter, I agree totally with your opinion about the desktop version. The recovery versions IMO have a much better user interface, for me they are still the fastest (of course with the exception of the Macrium Rapid Delta Restore). BTW it is possible to run the Linux recovery environment from a thumb drive. You need XBoot for this, and you need to specify Grub4Dos instead of Acronis. For the USB creation don't use SysLinux, use Grub also. My favorite use of TI 2016 is integrating the PE recovery environment into the boot menu (EasyBCD). Cheers manolito
