Not having much luck with Backup & Recovery 10
I was able to to load it on XP SP3 and was able to make, recover and schedule backups after quite a bit of fiddling around. I was using TI9 and ECHO before and it worked flawlessly. The version 10 user interface **** IMO and is far too complicated. Then I installed a clean retail version of Window7 and when I tried to install it I could not paste my license key into the window so I had abort. Now I have to use the CD I made from the Recovery Media ISO I download from Acronis. Even that is hit and miss. Sometimes the recovery CD will boot all the way to the splash screen or even further to the backup/recovery options window and then for some reason just reboots the machine. I installed ECHO on Windows7 and after renaming the executable it will make reliable backup images of partitions but has some limitations with respect to recovering backups of file data. Recovery of partition images using the ECHO recovery media is reliable I really wish ECHO could be made to work with Win7 with all it's normal features. I need Acronis for my daily backups but right now I have to do all my imaging manually and that is very inconvenient. Is it just me? What am I missing?
