Re: Acronis TI 8 Personal - Free Giveaway
said by howie  :I'm a big advocate of Incremental Images... Maybe I'm not doing it right. I created my first image last night. Now I'm creating what I thought was an incremental image and it's taking over 30 minutes for the process to complete. I haven't installed any new programs. All I did was edit the registry and delete some files. Why is it taking so long?
Also I discovered that there's apparently a bug in TI8 which causes browsing over the network to fail on systems which have TI8 installed. To fix the problem you have to edit the registry and set the IRPStackSize to decimal 18 on each computer with network shares that has TI8 installed.

I'm a big advocate of Incremental Images... Not only are they just a tiny fraction of the size of the full image (see above), they normally take just minutes (or even seconds, in some cases) to complete. I create them after I've installed new programs and/or updates and many times on a daily basis.

The Secure Zone (should be called the Twilight Zone) has been the cause of more issues than any other in TI. DO NOT USE IT! 
It was mainly created for those who have only a single drive to work with and this is never a good idea in the first place because if your only drive fails, your image is history as well.

don't bother with secure zone. Install Acronis on all 3 comps and create separate, first time, backups to your external drive. From then on you can schedule them regularly using incremental backups. You need just one restore disk

Got it last night with no problems. I followed Doctor Olds 's instructions. I've created my first image and stored it on a 500 GB external USB hard drive. I've also created a rescue CD. I was going to try the Acronis Secure Zone, but canceled when it said it was going to take a hour to setup. Is that feature useful with an external drive?
Also I would like to create backup images for three other computers on my network. It looks like I have to install the software on each of the network computers first. Is that right? Will I be able to use the external USB drive as a backup location? I have a shared folder on it so I assume I should be able to store drive images there.
This is my first experience with this interesting software, so please be gentle if my questions are really dumb.

said by jabarnut :said by AMDUSER :The other diffrence, is that the Seagate / Maxtor version is True Image Version 10 as well. Ah, quite right! (Forgot about that). And being v10, it is also Vista compatible. Thanks for the clarification. MarkAW , jabarnut , and AMDUSER thanks for replies/info on differences between Acronis True Image Personal 8.0 and the current Seagate DiscWizard/Maxtor MaxBlast.
Was not at my PC at time of post. When at home checked the Seagate DiscWizard and its version 10.0 (build 5,028).
I don't do incremental backups either so I'll just stick with using Seagate DiscWizard. |
