Back Up and Restoring of my RevoDrive X2 PCI-Express SSD 240gig

Thread needs solution

I can not seem to get Acronis to even find my SSD when trying to back up and restore from the recovery disk, as it does not even know it exists. I am running Windows 7-64 bit. The 64 bit seems to be a big problem with ALL back up software. The next problem seems to be my RevoDrive X2 PCI-Express SSD drive. I can tell you I have spent $500.00+ on trying to find a back up program that will just boot off of the recovery disk, back up and then restore. Can someone help me with this situation.
When prepairing the bootable disk it says all of the drivers are allready on the disk. This is great if I were running a 32bit system since booting off of the disk puts us in a 32 bit environment, but my system is 64 bit so the drivers it has are 64 bit. "I think this is correct." Please help me.

Other stuff as well but I do not think it is relevant.

James,

It is probably the case that the linux drivers on the recovery disk are not supporting the PCI-express disk interface. THat has nothing to do with the 32bit or 64bit BTW.

You would have better chances to get your hardware supported by the recovery disk if it were a WinPE based disk. To create a WinPE based with Acronis, you need to purchase the Acronis Plus Pack, install it, download some free toolbox from Microsoft and follow the Acronis instructions in the manual or help file.
I cannot tell you for sure a WinPE based disk will support your hardware, but since it contains Microsoft drivers, there is a much higher chance...

Just one minor point of clarification. Pat is correct in saying that the drive handling issue is unrelated to the 32-bit/64-bit issue insofar as the linux drivers provided by Acronis for recovery disc building are concerned. If you build your own WinPE boot disc, however, note that the RevoDrive X2 does use different drivers for 32-bit and 62-bit Windows operation. So, unless you build a 64-bit WinPE environment (unlikely) you would need its 32-bit driver for your PE build.
