Processing, Please Wait

Hi, I'm trying to do a backup with Acronis True Image Home 10.0.
I have been trying to find a good backup program for months and have still not found one. When I select the type of backup I want, in the wizard, and click next. A popup informs me that it is processing and I need to wait, there is a little clock with an arrow going round. This has been going for 4 hours, and hasn't stopped yet.

Fix?

 

Which build of version 10 are you using?
What are you trying to backup?
What type of backup have you chosen?
What is its volume?
What level of compression?
What backup priority selected?
Where is the backup destination?
Are you imaging from within Windows or from the rescue CD?
Some brief details of your set up would help:-
What operating system are you using?
Is it a PC or notebook?
Outline specs for the computer would help.

A review of my guides (link below) may be of assistance. It might give you some clues as to what is happening.

 

Although I have overcome the issue, when supposedly backuping, it stays at 0%, I left it on for 2 hours, 2/3 the time it said it would take to complete, and no dice.

 

I just left it on from 2:55 to 6:44, and still at 0%

 

Perhaps a new unannounced feature to give us ample time to think about the process we want that gives fits.

 

IF it's hanging right after starting, then it could be ATI is having aproblem recognizing one or more of the drives. If it hangs after it's gotten past that point and and begins the first step of making a backup, it could be hanging in the process of making a snapshot. ATI takes a snapshot of used sectors before it backs up and filters changes to these so that yu can keep using windows while doing a backup.

Solution: these are probs for tech support.

 

I would try your "rescue CD" and see if it works from there. Worth a try.
When I first purchased True Image, I could not copy an image in the windows environment. I tried the rescue disk and it worked fine.
I was able to recover and copy an image with no problem. I then decided it was time to clear the "junk" out of my operating system and reformat my hard drive and reinstall windows. ( win 98se with about 5 years of junk,)True Image has worked fine ever since.
I would make an image daily of my progress reinstalling the operating system and restore to the old image, until I had my operating system to the point I wanted and deleted the images from my old "dirty" OS. (I have since "updated" to XP from a clean WIN 98se )
