Backup recovery does not recover dates of files!

I am using True Image 9. 2277. I am doing backups of files and folders . Today I wanted to recover some files. I was shocked that True Image does not recover the modification dates of my files. I am software developer, using CVS, and file dates are essential.

I had an older full backup of the disk. Recovering the files from there had the same problem.

The only solution I found, was plugging the image. If I just use the windows explorer and drag the files to the recovery location it works, because windows keeps modification date of files when copying.

Unfortunately, this cannot be used for file backups, because they cannot be plugged.

The main reason to upgrade to 9.0 was the file backups. I did not expect that this is implemented so badly .

Well, so I will use gnu tar (cygwin) again to do my folder backups.....

Is there a way to get the money back from an upgrade? I don't need 9.0 -- 8.0 is just OK.

I noticed the same thing. This makes the files and folders backup totally useless!

 

You might use the Windows Backup utility that is built into Windows XP Pro (Accessories / System Tools) and included in many XP Home installations if you are backing up to a hard disk or to one preformatted CD or DVD. It is an excellent program but can't write to CDs or DVDs by itself or span disks.

Cool! When will this version be available

Michael

 

Build 2302 was released 28 October 2005.

 

I have the german version. On the update site, the latest update is:
Last available update: build #2293, 2005-10-18

 

I just tried 2302 version and it even dont start file backup, when I push "proceed" button then it simple displays progress bar and thats it. Then I must press "cnt-alt-del". File-level backup is probably new area for Acronis company and versions arent stables jet.

Unfortunately cant because I dont use TI in windows but instead as bootmanager.

In file, in catalog, in FAT32 partition.

Pushin "proceed" button as I say.

 

We have the same problem like GETO!!!

We are working with XP-Home-Edition using an 80GB Drive for music-production, therefore it is FAT32-formatted.

All attempts to make file-backups didn't work; we tried out different
archive-locations and mediums.

The trueImageService doesn't start; finally we killed the process showing
" Operation in progress 0%" !!

We have the same behavior on an old Win98-PC also FAT32-formatted!!

Does the data-backup work at all Yes, on our NTFS-formatted System!!

One more hint: We tried out the job with ntbackup!!
First time it failed too (FAT32), unchecking "Disc Shadowing" it worked" !!

Who can help?? -- We sent all logs for Acronis Customer Service!!
