Acronis True Image 2018-3 Computer Backup Software

I am returning it. It didn't take me too long to setup this program, and I find myself competent in technical matters. I succeeded with backup only to have it fail after about 8 hours of grinding, and the error messages / troubleshooting were complicated Whenever I tried to run it, I kept getting The Acronis True Image software Despite the fact that the backup was on my network attached storage and I could see the files, the backup fails with "The specified file does not exist. " In the troubleshooting article, there were no screenshots, no mention of menus, and the reference to "click the angle symbol" repeatedly was laughable. Does that allow you to choose from a Can anyone tell me what the angle symbol means? I must be missing some good program out there, so my search continues. I'd like backup software that's reliable, not fiddly, and doesn't require this much.

It's too soon to tell. Ensure it is set up to back up to a dedicated drive. With our 5-terabyte drive, we should have had plenty of room for both our personal and business data I have been performing incremental backups on my PC at home. I was shocked to discover that my hard drive had become full during this process. Defragmentation can cause backups to become too large, as I have learned from researching the issue. It would have taken me 10 times the space to make an incremental backup, let alone a full In order to resolve this issue, Acronis needs to In the initial setup of the software, an option would be provided to turn off defragmentation of the destination drive if (1) it allowed defragmentation without consequences, (2) it warned of the consequences, and (3) it enabled the initial setup to allow defragmentation without consequences.

I previously used an older In order to upgrade to the 2018 version, I downloaded the 2018 version first. Having uninstalled the old version of the program, I restarted my computer as well as began the installation process for When I tried to install the new version, the installer said it was an old version. Acronis folders with the name Acronis were empty if the installation was aborted. I stopped the program and searched for them. My first attempt to install the software was unsuccessful as I deleted the folders, restarted the computer, and then tried to install it again only to get the same error message. The number 889. The following number series 3768) & It is 782. It is 90000). In the home user option, I was told that all tech support is not free and that I would need a credit card to access it.

It does what it is supposed to do. My backup files from Acronis are so numerous that I might get away from the software if I didn't already have so many. Currently, settings are not able to be saved. The default setting of Acronis is saved every time I use it, so I have to tell it not to do automatic backups. There is no way I want an auto-detect This will not save the setting for NO Snapshot or when it does backups. Every time I do a backup I have to configure it again.

It is sometimes difficult to understand what is actually happening during installation since some windows are hidden and there is sometimes no indication that anything is actually happening. It lets you select the options that will allow you to make it a truly carefree way to Running it will be quite quiet, it will automatically delete old backups based on your settings, and it will run I suggest that if the backup device is not present at the time the backup starts, it just fails without any notice. If the backup device is not present at the time the backup starts, it would be nice if a dialog was presented to allow attachment and then attempt the backup.

An authorized dealer of Acronis cannot be found here. The company I was working with had a problem, so I contacted them. I was told that I was not supported and that I had to upgrade to 2019 or pay for support. The "happy camper" in me is not happy! Adding an update The following is the calendar for December As of now, the system is not working The restoration of my SSD did not go properly after I tried it. After doing some research, I found AOMEI Backupper, which is a free software product. I'm very pleased with it.

This is powerful. Having the right knowledge can help you. It took me a while to learn because I'm a beginner. This has recently been used with the Nexstar TX. There is a review I left regarding the hardware I used. You can read my story in that review. It is a truly remarkable piece of software in its capacity and scope. It wasn't until I wanted to try to donate my computers that I saw this kind of stuff. Images of the originals were backed up, copies of the originals were erased, and I used the program to do other things as well. I like this stuff so much. Although it was a bit difficult for me to get a hold of, I did eventually make it.

Cloned my HDD to a new SSD and found it rather simple and easy to do, size of drive did not matter so long as there is enough space on the new drive to accommodate the data on the old drive. Didn't use Tech Support so cannot comment on A hard drive external to my computer is also where I perform my backups.
