Issues with performing a backup and restore

I am attempting to backup my intel raid array (total 700gb/230gb used) and restore to new disks (total 1.4tb)...personal VM Server lab

OS Vista 64 ultimate
Latest build of TI11 home

after I create the partition image I validate and it states corrupt, I have compression to none (since it often hangs when I have it enabled) and priority high. If I perform a file backup it acts the same


any thoughts I would like to use the new raid array soon for some pet projects and testing

 

Some additional data might help get you some suggestions:

What brand/model computer are you backing up?

What is the motherboard?

Where are you storing the backkup images.

Have you tried making backups from the TI recovery CD?

Have you tried verifying backups from the TI recovery CD?

 

What brand/model computer are you backing up?
Custom build quad core, 8gb ddr2 ram with 700w
What is the motherboard?
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
Source?
4x250gb sata drives in raid5 via onboard GIGABYTE SATA2 RAID
Where are you storing the backkup images.
Storing to an onboard SATA2 300gb drive via onboard intel ICH9R controler
Have you tried making backups from the TI recovery CD?
not yet-attempting tomorrow
Have you tried verifying backups from the TI recovery CD?

no joy on the boot cd...

 

Since you're saving the backup image to an internal drive, have you tried the Safe Media version of TI 11? If you don't have it on your TI CD, you'll need to log into your Acronis account, download it, install it and create a new TI CD with Media Builder.

The Safe version may be able to work correctly with your drives.

 

I just read there is some issues with the ICH9R drivers in acronis...and safe mode did not work...

 

the new version of echo has the same prob...even when i do bart pe, the verification fails...its not just the ICH9r raid but also the gigabyte sata2 connectors...

 

and the magic error number from failed verification is E00070020

 

You might get an iso file from tech support that will work for you. However, a Vista PE disk has a more comprehensive set of drivers than xp (BartPE) although you can add drivers just as you can with BartPE.

 

let me give that a try...what is the difference between a BartPE disk and VistaPE?

 

BartPE runs a mini version fo XP and VistaPE runs a mini version of Vista (you can get the necessary Vista files free by downloading the WAIK (see Mustang's guide for info on this. You can use either Bart or VistaPE to do a restore on a Vista or an XP machine.

 

Hello kf4ape,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

We are sorry for delayed response.

Please notice that it is possible that the archive is being declared corrupt because of faulty data transfers. Please run a memory diagnostics such a Memtest86+ available free from www.memtest.org for a several hours. There should be no errors reported. Please also run Windows chkdsk utility with parameter "/r" on the hard drive the archive is stored at.
If there are no errors with memory/hard drive reported, please try copying/moving the archive to another location, and validating it again.

Could you please clarify, what happens when you try to use Acronis Bootable Rescue Media to validate the archive?

Thank you.
