Hello ,

I have a 500Gb HD with two primary partitions, each having it's own OS, Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Is it possible to install Acronis True Image Home 2011 in both OSes and backup upon the same image(s)?
I've already tried a full (incremental) backup job launched from WinXP, then rebooted into Win7 and created a new backup job based on the first backup made in WinXP, using also the same settings and based on same disk, same partitions but different OSes.

The result backup was an incremental version with about 80Mb and the backup explorer showed me 2 backup shots in the timeline, the first from WinXP and the second done within Win7.
Back into WinXP, the backup operation explorer still shows me only the first backup on the timeline and doesn't include the one done in Win7. Would it be possible to synch the same backup operation on two separate OSes and have them recognize each other in the backup explorer?

Thanks!

I've never tried doing that, but it's not something I'd recommend. The TI database seems much too easy to break and you may end up with corrupted chains.
