Problems with obtaining technical support for Acronis True Image 2020 and problems restoring from an external SSD

Thread needs solution

I am having 2 issues:

1. Problems with obtaining technical support for Acronis True Image 2020

I have registered my ATI2020 product but when trying to obtain technical support for it, the Acronis website indicates I need to register my product.

 

2. Problems restoring from an external SSD

I was trying to restore a backup that was stored on an external, USB 512GB SSD. When I tried this, Windows 10 claimed there was a problem and the system needed to be restarted.

When I copied the backup files to an external, USB 2TB mechanical hard drive, the restore process worked fine.

I can make backups TO the SSD, but not restore them FROM the SSD.

The laptop that was being restored was an Asus TUF Gaming FX505GT having the latest Windows 10 Home OS (as of a few days ago) and a Micron PCI SSD as it's C-Drive. 

The laptop has only been in our possession for less than 2 weeks, and has worked fine until this evening. It required a restore b/c the latest Windows 10, as of 9/15/21, a cumulative update for Windows 10 21H1, caused the laptop to be completely unstable.

 

If anyone can help with either of the above issues, I would be, frankly, truly overjoyed.

 

Thank you very much, in advance.

Joseph, welcome to these public User Forums.

The first problem is simply that there is no further support for ATI 2020 as it went out of support 30-days after Acronis released ATI 2021 in October 2020.

The only method of getting support now for ATI 2020 would be to buy this on a pay per incident basis!

The second problem with restoring from the external SSD is in starting this from within Windows which will cause the PC to be restarted into a temporary Linux based environment which does not have the device support for the SSD.

I would recommend creating the 'Simple' version of the Acronis Rescue Media and using that to boot the PC when doing any restore / recovery of an OS disk drive.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I appreciate your help.

I was trying to make a restore to a laptop that uses a UEFI BIOS via the UEFI enabled Rescue Media.

If I try using the "simple" Rescue Media builder, would it be able to restore to the UEFI laptop via SSD?

 

 

Joseph, all Acronis rescue media is capable of booting in both UEFI and Legacy boot modes, this is normally a choice for the user to make when starting the laptop, i.e. via a boot override menu invoked from a key press such as F12 on Dell, Esc on HP etc.

For your ASUS laptop, Google search shows:

Press and hold the F2 button , then click the power button. DO NOT RELEASE the F2 button until the BIOS screen display.

The purpose of using the 'Simple' version of the rescue media, assuming this is created on the same ASUS laptop, is that it will contain the necessary device drivers for that system.
