Lot of bugs in ATIH 2011

Thread needs solution

Completely disappointed with this product and so sorry that have bought it. Just I could not even imagine that it had so much bugs!!! Excuse me in case I am not right and all the stuff in my PC.

I have Lenovo W701 notebook and licensed ATIH 2011 installed on it. Notebook has 5 partitions on 500Gb HDD. 1st - with no letter, system; 2nd - c:\, with W7x64; 3d - d:\, with program files; 4th - f:\; 5th - q:\ - service lenovo partition.

From moment of installation I have never completed restore of the 1st partition, c:\ and d:\ without any error.
- after rebooting into Acronis environment very often there is the message "Hranilishe nedostupno"/"Backup file is not accessible";
- if I do not check the MBR restoring before - I get the brick which cannot boot;
- this morning I get the simple brick with no booting after restoring.

Repeat: no any clean case of restoring! No one! Every time the errors!!!
Excuse me for my impulsiveness but I think I could expect any benefits from you product beside the headache.

Thank in advance for any suggestions! Where there any problems relates the ATIH functioning on Lenovo`s notebooks? Are there any pecularities? Really I am trying to tune the process of restore on my new notebook during three months and already have problems in the family area beside the hardware... (((

Transfered from another topic.
And may I put some more questions (I have Lenovo W701 notebook, W7x64Pro, ATIH11&ADDS11):
(1) Very often when creating incremental backup the previous image is being marked as with errors. But after following ATIH start there is no any signs of errors.
(2) Sometimes the incremental image by size is bigger but not less then the full one.
(3) While restoring the image very often after reboot and downloading Acronis environment there is the message about unaccessebility of warehouse file (tib I think).
(4) Should I mark the "MBR restore" before restoring?
(5) May I suggest that compatibility of Acronis with Lenovo with its ThinkVantage and other advanced features may be under threat? Should I pay attention to anything?

Thank in advance!!!

(1) The banners that are hanging at the bottom of the backup task are not updating correctly. Ignore them. Check the log instead. Make sure you validate your backup from time to times

(2) This is probably a new full. ATI might trigger a new full backup if you have deleted some TIB manually. Make sure you validate your backups. This will ensure the integrity of the backup chain.

(3) Sometime, ATI might ask to specify the location of Volume X. 1 is the first backup, 2 is the first incremental/differential, etc. If you browse to the right file and ATI doesn't accept it, your backup chain is probably compromised. Validate it. If there is an issue, recreate a new task.

(4) In most cases you don't need to. If you restore to a new disk, you do need it. If you have a multi-boot machine, or a machine with special OEM partitions (aka RECOVERY, OEM, et...), you should restore the MBR.

(5) I don't know about this one.
