I just ran my first backup using 11.5.
I backed up my HP laptop as a test.
I booted from the Acronis Backup Advanced for Pc disc and saved the backup on an external drive.

When the backup completed I wound up with the following files in the root directory of the external drive:
2ABBEBD9-578F-4965-9CBE-544CB3443600.lck
2ABBEBD9-578F-4965-9CBE-544CB3443600_backup.lck
Archive(1).TIB
Archive(1).xml
meta_info.lck

I was expecting to see a disc image of my computer.
What mistakes have a I made?

Thanks,
Charles

Archive(1).TIB and Archive(1).xml are the files comprising the disk image. Other should have been deleted after successful backup. If you can validate them (from boot disk of Acronis Backup running on Windows OS) and the validation is successful, files are good. You then will be able to recover from them. If you wanted to make a clone of the disk to boot from, that can be instantly replaced, you can use 'clone' feature under Disk Management.

We have also seen some ...lck files remain at times with customers and often we have found it when using the boot CD and the Boot CD OS is not shut down/quit and we believe the file system tables were not finished updating 100% before power was turned off... The good news is with our customers in just about all cases the main TIB file (which is the large image file containing the system data) has always been in good condition however doing a validate on the file as Fedor recommends is always best to be sure as you don't want to have false hopes when it comes to your backup files and if possible also suggest always having more than a single copy of your backups at different physical locations if at all possible.
