Moving On

Thread needs solution

First I want to express my gratitude to the Acronis MVP's for all of their assistance and support! My decision is no reflection on them.

After 3 weeks and many hours of effort I still did not have a working boot drive. Therefore, I decided to move on and have found another product to use. Since this is an Acronis supported forum I will not name the product (anyone interested can send me a private message and I will be happy to share). Literally 15 minutes after installing this product I had a fully functional WinPE based boot drive. It was very easy and required no extra commands, downloads, research, etc.. Clearly it can be done. The inability of TI 2016 to easily create a working boot drive was not the only deciding factor. I had "upgraded" from TI 2014 to TI 2016 and the removal of the following functionality was also a key component of my decision:

 - Inability to delete previous backups from within the program

 - No log viewer

 - Inability to disable login request at each start-up

 - No time line view of backups

There were other minor issues/annoyances but those are the big ones. The key though is the inability/difficulty in creating a working boot drive. Without that the program is essentially useless. 

Thanks again to all who have provided assistance. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Completly agree with the difacts....Acronis please, bring back these functions. Iit is a pain in the a... right now and we have quite a few customers already complaining and asking " why was this working in the older versions and now not anymore....".
