Can't create data only backup, defaults to sector-by-sector

Thread needs solution

I'm using Acronis True Image OEM Edition (build 8,179) and when making a
full image backup it switches to sector-by-sector without warning, even though
I don't have sectory-by-sector selected. Anyone have an idea what might
be causing this?

William,

Your post has slipped into the Echo forum, where not many people will see it. If you edit your post you can transfer it to the True Image older versions forum where home users are more likely to respond.

As to your problem, has it suddenly started doing this or always done it?

What file system are you imaging and have you run chkdsk /r on both the source drive and destination drive? Some unsupported file systems can cause the problem you are seeing as can disk integrity problems. If this is the disk containing the OS, checkdisk will have to run off line, so it will run after the next reboot.
