True Image 10.0 going through motions

I'm really getting fed up with this software. It's not reliable and I cannot trust it. I'm just trying to back up my C drive. I launch TI 10.0, it shows message that it's starting backup but percent complete remains at 0 while red arrow in tray area shows that there's activity. I am running XP SP2 and have latest version of software installed. I had same problem last month when I took my monthly backups but the problem magically disappeared. How can software you trust to do backups be so unreliable. Any one have a clue. If I don't receive an answer I'm afraid that I will need to trash this software and let the wor

Fed Up!!

 

Try the procedure with the bootable True Image Rescue CD. It may be slower but at least it will work. If it doesn't then you have some hardware incompatibility.

 

Good advice from DwnNdrty
When I first purchased TI some time back, I could not do a back-up from the windows environment ( WIN98se at the time) I was very upset with Acronis. The rescue disk worked every time. When I reinstalled WIN98se for a nice clean OS, True Image then worked fine from Windows environment. ( don't know why). Ti has worked fine for me ever since. I have updated from WIN98se to XP and then on to Vista Home premium. After many emails back and forth to Acronis Re: the above mentioned, I ended up having to email them an apology. There was obviously something wrong with my OS and not True Image.

 

TI 10.0 not working with External ESATA drive

I reported earlier that TI 10.0 was just going through the motions and not backing up to my external 500gb cavalry drive. When I switched connection fron ESATA cable to USB cable all worked well. Apparently TI 10.0 cannot write to an ESATA drive. I wonder if this is same problem TI 10.0 has with dynamic drives. Another gotcha!!

 

Re: TI 10.0 not working with External ESATA drive

You could try the Trial version of TI 11 to see if the support for e-sata has improved.

 

Re: TI 10.0 not working with External ESATA drive

TI 11 (8,053) sees my eSATA drive okay. It's connected to a Sil3132 chipset PCIe card. I haven't run many speed tests, but it seems to be about two times faster than when connected via USB 2 (using TI 10, 4,942). (I didn't do a USB 2 test with TI 11 because I get a Kernel Panic error.)

However, using VistaPE with the eSATA drive will do in three minutes what TI 11 Full takes fifteen.

 

Re: TI 10.0 not working with External ESATA drive

I installed trial version of TI 11.0 and had same problem. TI sees the drive but still goes through motions and writes nothing to the eSata drive. It also leaves the red arow in tray area and I was unable to remove it. Strill a Gotcha as far as I'm concerned. For backup software I just can't trust it. LOL!
