Any special update instructions or can I just install on top of build 5,055?

I just completed installing this new build and all went well. I never install a new build without uninstalling the older version. Using Add or Remove Programs I first uninstalled the Media addons and re-booted. The addons file is new also. I then uninstalled True Image build 5055 and re-booted. Next I ran msconfig and disabled all in the startup group and re-booted. If the antivirus and firewall software is still running I shut them down manually.
Following the complete uninstall I installed True Image 2010, build 6029 and then the addons. Ran msconfig again and enabled all in the startup group. Enabled the Kaspersky antivirus software and ZoneAlarm Pro.
Admittedly this is a lot of steps to go through and is somewhat time consuming but in doing this I have never had a problem with sophisticated software such as True Image as well as others. Next I need to create new Rescue Media CD's for this build. I have also downloaded the ISO file, which is new also, as a precaution.

Thank you for the advice. I will certainly be following your steps when I start the update process. I have a similar OCDish approach to installing new video drivers. So I can appreciate your thoroughness when doing Acronis updates. Thanks for taking the time to walk through your method for me. Cheers.

The @date@ macro appends the current year-month-day to the tib file name automatically.

For anybody interested, I just stopped nonstop backup and installed the new version on top of the old one. Result being, it now claims it's not installed. But if I start the installer again, it _does_ claim it's installed and offers me the usual uninstall/repair/modify options.
I guess the installer can't handle upgrading. Which is ridiculous, but fine, I'll try an uninstall/reboot/install and hope that fixes it.
Edit: I decided to try repair first, and after another reboot that sorted it.

If I download the trial version will it have these updates?
I validated that the trial download is version 6029.

Re:

Acronis True Image Home crashes after installation of Acronis Disk Director 10
What's the work around for this e.g. install DD10 first? Is this a single crash of the services post installation of DD10 or a continued crash of TI2010?
I'm just about to rebuild a PC with Win7 and TI and DD are some of the very first apps I install.
Thanks,
Jon C

Install DD10 first, then TI2010.

Did you find that in the doc somewhere? I couldn't...
Sounds like a feature I requested back in version 9 :)

I heard there were a few reports of the "Acronis Startup Recovery Manager" being broken on systems with Windows 7 (Win7 was automatically doing some boot optimizations or disk-defrag that occasionally breaks the Recovery Manager). I don't see this mentioned in the fixed issues or known issues though. Does anyone know if this was fixed, and if not can someone from Acronis tell us when we can expect this issue to be addressed?

I bought TI2010 after being satisfied with 2009 - even though that version is already bloated like hell. I've had lots of troubles with TI2010 on Win7 Enterprise Build 7600 32bit and I'm fed up with wasting my time to find out what to do to get everything working as it should.
Congratulations for nothing to the Acronis product managers (or whoever is responsible for that mess). I'm pretty sure TI2011 will have nifty features such as a 3D game together with a fancy Video Player and maybe an MS Office alternative - some of them might even work sometimes.
After a short testing period, I bought Paragon Drive Backup Pro 9 - and well...it simply works and does the damn backup job instead of installing heaps of drivers and services to produce cute little BSODs.
*sigh*

Build 6029 has been a disaster for me (Windows 7, x64) yet 5055 worked perfectly.
I installed last night and closed down properly. Booted up tonight and W7 would freeze before displaying the desktop and all hard drive activity ceased. I have ATI scheduled to run a backup of certain files at 7am everyday which usually means it runs it when I boot up for the first time on an evening. I've spent hours trying to find the problem and almost was at the point to restore from a previous full backup from Friday.
I then finally manged to boot into safe mode and noticed that all of my schedules were shown as 'last run unknown' so I deleted them all and W7 booted up ok. Tried to run a backup of my emails and it just froze my system resulting in a hard reboot to get things working again.
Not sure what Acronis has done with this build but I'm going back to 5055 which as I mentioned earlier works perfectly for me.

Version 6029 is so broken under Windows 7 64 bit (probably the same for the other versions as well). . Don't even download it. Fortunately I retained a copy of the original 5055.
This company has the absolute WORST TECH SUPPORT I have ever experienced. I sent them an email about an issue last Monday and today, ONE WEEK LATER they replied with a response that didn't even have the slightest relationship to my question and on top of that said that I should download 6029 BECAUSE I HAVE WINDOWS 7.
Why do they even bother answering? They make themselves look like fools with "technical support" responses like that. While they seem to be in Massachusetts their support must come for Outer Slobovia. It's no wonder people say they pirate software because most of what they pay for is such crap and are tired of getting ripped off.
Thanks for nothing "Sam Hancock" ... great name, couldn't make a better one up myself.

Acronis Startup Recovery Manager problem:
when the boot optimizations or disk-defrag happens Acronis Startup Recovery Manager seems to get set to ON but if you go into tools and deactivate you get a window saying activation Acronis Startup Recovery Manager and a task call trueimage.exe *32 taking 50 % cpu time that runs forever.
I did set up a secure-zone area on the disk ( which i don't use) just in case software was looking for it.
I also have to re-activate OSS via the CD to get dual boot working again.

Installed Acronis TI 2010 build 6029 in XP Pro.
Seems to work but the bootable recovery disc is unable to recover previous disk images.
Backup works but any selection under recovery i.e. recover, validate archive, edit comments results in no action whatsoever.
Am now downloading build 6053 and have burned the latest bootable media build 6053.
Will report on the results.
