dynamic disk?

I just purchased TI 8 (791) last night. While it's not a serious issue as yet, I'm wondering if support fopr dynamic disks will be forthcoming?

My controller is an Intel 82801EB Ultra ATA Storage Controller, with one non-RAID 200GB WD SATA drive.

Thanks,
Don

 

Hello dcrossman,

Thank you for purchasing Acronis True Image (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/).

We expect the dynamic disk support to be implemeted in future versions of Acronis True Image. However the exact date is unknown yet.

The dynamic disks are supported in Acronis True Image Server and Enterprise Server. The detailed information concerning these products is available at

Thank you.

Dear Acronis,
I cannot believe that Acronis fails to mention one small little detail on the box like oh something simple like maybe under the system requirements section of the box. It might read, At this time, Acronis V's 7,8, blah blah do not support Dynamic Disk Partioning in WIndows XP, W2K etc.. Anyhow, not paying $700 for server version when ghost works fine and Acronis is playing a little on the slippery side as far as I am concerned. I'm in software and one thing we know is that word travels fast in both directions.

Good Luck Acronis and I'll await my update email until I can actually try out my big purchase of $50..

Having tried it, I understand that TI 8 cannot create an image of a dynamic drive. Does this also apply to cloning a dynamic drive ?

 

Hi, sf-earl

Yes, dynamic disk are not support by Ti8.

But you can Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk :- #9
