No recover after windows re-start
My first poster at this forum!
Now I got a *.tib file that I want to create an image of to an USB-mounted disk.
Because of lack of space on my harddrive I have the *.tib file on an USB-stick. Which means that both source and destination isn't at my original hard drive, both are externally mounted.
I manage to select source and destination for a recover at the "Backup-section" and so far so good...
But when I starting to do the recover everything is mixed up, what I mean is the icons shows "destination --> source", so is this a BUG?
Next thing it tells me to restart windows, if I do so nothing happens. My computer will restart and nothing more happens.
I've RTFM and I've tried to search at the forum for better knowledge without any luck.
I wondering if this is so easy so nobody matters (except me). Or is there any "monkey see, monkey do guideline" for what I'm trying to do.
PLEASE help me!
After I marked the checkbox validation (and the other checkbox). It starts to work without rebooting the computer. I don't like working with "trial and error".
For the last 30 minutes the program tells me that it's 1 minute left.
There was a window opened (I've marked it, see attachment), with some kind of log. The window was bigger (longer) then my window-view (I can't see the bottom of this window and I couldn't scroll down), so I tried to close it. Maybe this was some kind of selection?
My experience with this program is bad so far
What does your source disk contain? Is it some sort of bootable operating system on the source disk?
The message you get shown in your screenshot pic.png is something you would see when you are attempting to recover an operating system disk .tib image file.
Your other screenshot pic2.png shows the disk to be a SanDisk SSD which contains what looks to be an operating system. Is this your source disk?
What I would suggest you do here is to create a Recovery Media disk, either CD/DVD or USB, boot to that disk, and then perform your recovery operation.
You can create a Recovery Media disk using the Media Builder Tool which you can get to in the Tools Section of the True Image GUI. Use the link below for more details and review the subfolders found on this Web Help page link. At this point I think you can disregard the information on creating a WinPE disk in favor the standard Recovery Media disk.

Thank you for your trying to help me!
Both the image (source) and the disk (destination) contains an operating system. The destination disk should be overwritten with the image. On both disks there are three partitions (only one image).
I can't boot this in the ordinary way in a computer to "fix and trix", because the disk is mounted in an industrial robot
Yesterday's tryout was a disaster. I tried to do a recover with separate partitions but it didn't work out. My robot has become a vegetable (I have two disks, one is still working so my pulse isn't that high)...
More info: The disk that should be overwritten has Win XP (on a separate disk), the image Win 7 (from an USB-memory).
I'm doing the "cloning procedure" from a Win7 computer. My computer and it's operating system should not be replaced.
Why isn't there any "clone disk" from a tib-file, this would make my day.
Any suggestion?
I erased all info on my destination disk and did the recovery one more time, but still nothing happens.
After the recovery, I can see that the 3 partitions don't have any unit label, so Win 7 (explorer) can't find them.
I can map/dedicate a label to F, G & H in Windows (no problem), so the disk and partitions could be found. But what happens later when I'm using the disk because it should be C, D & E????
Although the product features the option of starting a recovery from Windows, this is not the right path. You should definitely create your rescue media, boot the computer on it and then do the restore.
Thank you Pat for your advise!
Once again this is what I have:
1) A SSD-drive, this is the destination. This hard drive should later be mounted in an industrial robot, when the hard drive is mounted I can't do "tricks" with it. I've got this drive connected to my computer (3) with an USB-cable.
2) A *.tib file containing everything I need. This file (source) is on an USB-stick (this file would be on my computer if I had more space). This tib-file have three partitions.
3) A Win 7 computer which has the program Acronis. From this computer I do the recover procedure with Acronis. My computer works just fine and I don't want to do anything with my computer.
This is what I want to do:
Get the image (2) on my external SSD-drive (1), without doing any special bootup function. I can't run some acronis features inside the robot controller environment. The robot controller runs Win7 in the background (which is in the tib-file) .
I tried to do it with a restart without any success and I always get this error messages (see attachment).
I thought I could do in another way by just cloning one disk to another (see Warning2), but I get the same problem.
There is no point of doing images because the recover function is useless to me!
Niclas,
You are not understanding what we are saying here. The purpose of using recovery media to boot your Win 7 machine so that you can perform a clone or recovery procedure is so that you can get Windows out of the way to perform the procedure. Booting to a Recovery Medium will in no way effect your Win 7 installation on your machine as using the medium runs the procedure within the installed ram on your machine.
I think your issue here can be resolved by simply using a recovery media disk to perform a clone or recover the .tib file to the target drive.
Your screenshot errors indicate that the TI installed application and Win 7 are having issue with creating a snapshot of the source disk. You could troubleshoot that issue for days and never reslove it. Using a recovery media disk you will not have this issue.
