Is TrueImage worthless?
After a move my Windows 10 installation wouldn't boot. I tried recovering the full disk backup three times, but it still wouldn't boot and I got the error that there was no OS on my disk. I have reinstalled Windows and have reinstalled Acronis True Image and have recovered some files, but I need to find my Thunderbird profile to reinstall the email client, and there are no Appdata folders listed in either of the the full backups. What the heck is going on? I used this product "in case" something went wrong hoping it would be a trouble-free restore and there's nothing trouble-free about it. I've been working for days to restore my files and have sent a help request to Acronis but have gotten no answers. Why is there no Appdata in my backups? Why doesn't restore work? Is there anyone minding this store? When you buy a product that doesn't do the basic function for which you purchased it, what is that called?
Update: After changing the "view" preferences on Windows Explorer I was able to see the Updata folders in the restore page. It didn't occur to me that my windows folder settings would be adopted in the restore page, but so it is. I still haven't heard back from tech support about why my attempts to restore from the full backup didn't work, though.
