I cannot reach support in any way to solve my backup problems or upgrade to 2017 version

Thread needs solution

I am unable to reach acronis support via website or phone without paying a fee.  My company will not pay for this support since  I purchased acronis home 2016 last month.

I backed up to one external HD in the disk/image mode. It failed giving me an error that state it may be a problem with the HD.  I backed up to another external HD that I used for acronis 2014 with no problems.  I was able to backup, but during the validate cycle I received the same error that my HD was corrupt.  I was able to validate this backup with acronis home 2014 rescue disk.

How can I get help since I cannot use the 2014 version on windows since I reformatted it hard drive?

Howard, welcome to these user forums.

If you are seeing problems suggesting that you have a HDD problem then I would recommend running a CHKDSK /F /R against that drive.

With ATIH 2016 please ensure that you have installed the latest build 6571 version to take advantage of the fixes for most known issues.

If you are still within 30 days of your purchase of ATIH 2016 then you are still entitled to free support from Acronis.  With ATIH 2017 the support period has been extended to a full year instead of the 30 days.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I will run chkdsk and let you know.

I purchased true image about  4 months ago?  Am I entitled to Acronis 2017 freee upgrade?

 

 

 

Howard, see KB document: 58527: Upgrading to Acronis True Image 2017 which defines the rule for free upgrades etc.

Alternatively, contact Acronis Support via their Live Chat facility and ask as a pre-sales question.

See forum post: https://forum.acronis.com/forum/97491#comment-385474 where I have outlined the steps to use Live Chat.  This was for a technical question but you can choose Pre-sales in the first step.
