RamDisk Issue!!

Is there any way to keep Acronis from scanning a drive when you do a backup? The reason I ask, I have many drives, one being a RAMDRIVE. (I don't do a backup to it...or from it, so Acronis really doesn't even need to know it is there) I am using Superspeed's Ramdisk Plus v7.0, and the Acronis is picking up on it as a real drive and giving me some problems after that.

If I could keep Acronis from scanning that RAMDISK, all my problems would be solved.

Any Ideas? Thank you.

 

Hi, ugc

Welcomed to Wilders and Acronis.

I not sure if I can help.

Why does it matter if it finds the Ramdisk?

You do not have to include it in an Image.

Can not you hide the Ramdisk?

Said I might not me much help

Take Care,

Hello Ugc --

Thank you for taking the time to contact us and for your interest in Acronis
True Image (http://www.acronis.com/products/trueimage/)!

Actually, Acronis True Image analyzes all the drives to ensure that they also don't have errors, even though you don't backup to them...

So right now there is no opportunity to disable that procedure.

Thank you.

Acronis... Compute with confidence

 

Thanks for the quick reply. That answered my question.

To answer the question "TheQuest" asked:

What is happening is this,.. with explorer open in windows XP Pro, I right click on C:\ and select "make image". Acronis then opens, and scans my drives. When it gets to my Ramdisk drive which is drive R:, acronis gives me a big box with a red "X" and tells me that it can't read drive R:, and at that point I have to select "ignore, ignore all, or cancel". I can select "ignore all" and it will continue until it gets to the point of actually making the image, then, it "re-scans" the drives again and my computer shuts down.

I know it is the Ramdrive at fault because with no ramdrive, acronis works great. I can't just quit the ram drive before I make the image because I have moved all my "Temp" folders to it for speed, and windows will not let me unmount it.

 

Hi, ugc

Thank for your answer.

Sorry there is no fix.

Always learning.

Handy if some one else come here with your problem.
