Bug: Transfer from Disk to Disk, tasks queued twiceTasks

Thread needs solution

I wanted to submit a simple bug:

I installed Acronis Home for WD and started the program to duplicate my 500GB to a 1TB disk.
I started going through the steps, where source/destination is being chosen, and then how I'd like to do the copy:
- whether "asis" -> 1:1
- or extend -> proportionally extend the partitions

If after that you go back to select source/destination or even the first page, and continue until the end, a new set of tasks will be queued. In the end, 15 tasks were done on my computer after windows rebooted to that text mode screen:

The first set of tasks, started with moved C: from 98GB to 616GB from Disk 2 to Disk 3.
The second set of tasks, task 7 (if I remember correctly) and onwards, did move C: 98GB from Disk 2 to Disk 3.
As a result, the whole operation took twice as long...

The preferred method for cloning and/or restoring a backup image to a new disk is to use the Rescue CD.

This removes Windows from interference.

Next time, you will know the better method.
