Acronis True Image 2011

Yup same here on W7 x64, the GUI freezes on start up (I think it is while it scans the for valid .tib backups).
I don't know of any fix, but if you leave it be for a few minutes it does recover then it's fine until you re-start the app again.

But 2011 is definitely more buggy than older versions.

 

maybe it is still under development

 

I think he has not a customer number @ Acronis ;-)

 

nice info, will stick to 2010 then.....

 

Have you enabled BitLocker drive encryption. When I enabled it, I found that it freezed when launching. If the encryption drive is opened, then there is no more freezing.

 

I have now actually uninstalled 2011 and reinstalled ATI 2010 Build 7154 out of pure frustration.

Steer clear of 2011 it's crapware.

 

That is your opinion. No problem with 2011 in my rig. LOL.

 

If all you need is a straight simple backup of a volume then you might as well just use the built-in Windows Backup.

This thing works so great, i havent used a single 3rd party backup tool ever since i made my first backup with it.

Sure, it doesnt compress the images but so what. Whats important is that it is a real solid solution.

Compressed images only take longer to create and restore, not to mention that you wont restore anything at all in case the archive got corrupted...

 

Had to reinstall windows after 2011, avoid.

 

I don't know why anyone would use Acronis (unless they have to at work or something). Active@ Disk Image is much better, and has a boot disk too. The backups never failed on me, whatever OS I use. It's an easy, quick, quality backup solution. I gave up on Acronis a good while back, as there always some problem, slow interface, not booting into live environment, etc... The first time I used Active@ Disk Image I knew I had finally found a good solution.

 

I have also used Acronis True Image for years & liked it very much & still do.

I have also tried & use "R-Drive Image 4.7 (Build 4720)" and like it very much & have been using it for over 2 years and it has never let me down. It doesn't have all the bells & whistles (like acronis) & some may consider it crude, but it Backs up your system Completely & Will Restore it exactly as it was when you backed it up.
I have a Triple Boot System & once on the new 2011 ver of Acronis, it wouldn't let me restore (even with boot disk) but luckily, I also had a backup made with R-Drive Image & the R-Drive Image boot disk worked and saved my day.

 

I haven't had any problems.

 

Had the same problem, but think they have it fixed now
