Acronis TrueImage

[Cosmin-Coral]

After hearing (many times) about the joy of GHOSTing a system, I decided to try out Acronis True Image, which does much the same I understand, and of which I had a free cover-disk version.

However...
It completely fails to read the hard drive. It is scsi, but the documentation with TrueImage claims it handles hard drives however they are attached.
So, no use.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem and/or do I try (paying for) Ghost?
(I have looked on Acronis' site but their only up-front support is for the most recent version. I'm sure I could go through registration, email request yadda yadda..)

Is this a full paid for version?

A trial version?

Full (but not current) version. With product code obtained via Acronis website.

I've just started using Acronis True Image 7. (The very latest version..with all the desirable functions.)

I cannot see why the drive type (scssi in your case) should make any difference. (Not that I'm an expert).

Restoring an image of a 40GB (20gb of Data) Hard Drive took 18 minutes! Worked flawlessly.
It is apparently cheaper than Ghost or Drive Image. I paid £30 for it. (Around £40 normally I think).
You can use a boot disk to restore in case of Windows failure.
Use it in Windows, not DOS..you can work normally while an image is being taken...all very simple and user-friendly, even for not-very techy people like me.

I highly recommend it.

Have only recently downloaded Acronis and not yet tried it out. Possibley you need to run it from floppies or a bootable cd (http://www.acronis.com/company/inpress/2002/08-pc911-ti.html) for scsi drive support.
