    I cannot find any information about what this error means. The complete log is below. Googling it gave one hit that lead me to this forum. The Aconis web site has nothing on it. Doing a file based backup did work but is much slower and I want to be able to restore quickly.

    You want to be able to restore what quickly ... the whole hard drive, a partition only, or certain files only?
    What version and build number of True Image do you have?
    What OS are you using, win2k, XP, or Vista?

    The partition which in my case is the whole drive.

    I'm running XP Pro w/SP2. The version and build of True Image is in the log file. I downloaded the most recent build and tried another backup with the same results.

    Check your drive with chkdsk /r for any errors.

    Then make the bootable Rescue Cd from the menu in the software installation, boot with it and make the Backup Image of the whole drive from the Rescue CD menu.

    Save the Image on a second hard drive (internal or external) and you'll be able to restore it again by using the Rescue CD. You should test the restore using a spare drive, not your original.

    I already did the chkdsk with no errors reported. I also did an error check from within TI by right clicking on the drive and then clicking Properties then Errors. No errors were reported in that case either.

    I'll try your suggestion of using the Recover Disk to make the backup.

    I was able to successfully do a backup after booting from the rescue disk. The down side is it tokk about 4 times longer than doing it under Windows. I tried under Windows again anf got this error message; Can not find a partition with the path \local\hd_sign(FFFFFFFF). This really bites but especially because I can't find any help on fixing it. Doing backups from the rescue disk simply isn't acceptable. I guess I'll try to open a trouble ticket with Acronis. Can anyone tell me if that is a waste of time since this forum says it is the Official Acronis Support Forum?

    No, it is the proper way to be certain to get Acronis involved rather than hoping they will see your post here. They likely would tell you to open a support request if the answer isn't obvious.

    As far as "official" goes, well, at least they do look here and respond; it is confusing since they also now have a Knowledge Base on the Acronis site but I have never looked in it.

    Well I performed the steps as outlined above but the error didn't happen. When I installed the Acronis Drivers it said they were already installed so I picked the Repair/Upgrade option and the logging option. I guess I'll reverse this and see if the error occurs again. I went ahead and sent the error report and requested data in. I'll post back the results after reinstalling the drivers without logging.
