ACRONIS useless for System recovery on many Tablets

Thread needs solution

With current Version ist again only possible to backup data on tablets using 32bit Windows (and there are many of them). System recovery is not possible....or did i miss a way?

On of my main reasons of ATI is the actual quite simple way to backup and recover complete System.

Will Acronis ever Support UEFI32 bit secure boot?

I have tried TI 2016 on my Dell Venue Pro 11. I created a recovery USB drive. It boots fine (recovery environment is either 32 bit or 64). However, the program doesn't recognize that the Dell has 64GB of flash memory for C: drive. So when I boot into the recovery environment, it doesn't show the C drive as a destination to recover. I emailed Acronis and they techs have gone back and forth with me several times. They totally recommend that I create a WinPE flash drive. Only caviat...is that I have been trying out the evaluation copy of the program and it won't let me install the WinPE plug in without purchasing a license. You CAN boot into the Linux version and it will work. BUT...again...without WinPE...I doubt it will work fully. If I change my mind and purchase a second license (already have 2016 installed on my HP Envy 17 laptop)....I will post back.

No need to purchase a second license to try out the WinPE recovery media. You can make it on the HP and try it on the Dell.

Tried that. The WinPE created on the HP is 64 bit. Dell recognizes flash drive when I choose bootup order...but bypasses it on reboot.

Sorry, WinPE will not work for you on the Dell if it only has a 32 bit processor. Acronis does not offer a 32 bit WinPE solution. This is a big mistake on their part. Many tablets are being sold with 32 bit processors and 32 bit UEFI. The Acronis WinPE solution will NOT support them.

I recommend you try using Macrium Reflect on the Dell.

Only thing I can think of is that a licensed version of Acronis might create a 32 bit WinPE if created in the 32 bit OS environment. Right now, on the tablet, I can only use EaseUS 8.6, for the WinPE environment created is 32 bit and it recognizes everything. However, the recovery environment only recognizes C drive and not D ( I added on a 64 GB flash card as D and have Windows using it like a normal D:). At least "in Windows 10" Acronis did recognize the D drive. So basically I am lacking both ways.

Not going to happen. No 32 bit WinPE available even if made on a 32 bit OS.

Too bad! If Acronis would only write drivers that would acknowledge the drives into the Linux recovery environment. I can boot into the Linux version...but the C drive isn't there. My machine has the Atom processor in it. Guess normal SATA III drivers are not all the same...
