Acronis 6.0 or others
Hello all,
Before I searching until I am purple, I thought I would just ask the question here. The answer may be a simple "Not gonna happen." Which will make me go another direction.
What I have is this. And yes it is the year 2015............... but it is necessary for me.
I have a Windows 98SE machine that I am using for some proprietary software. I have and use Acronis 6.0 on the machine and it works great. Has saved my butt a few times. However, currently the machine has a few issues that tell me I need to think of worst case plans.
Before I attempt this process I would like to know the following.
1) If I purchase an older machine that will run Windows 98SE can I load my current .tib file on to the C: drive from my existing?? Will it work?? Will it fail??
2) Is there an Acronis product that will do the above that will run on a Windows 98SE system and have that ability to transfer the OS and programs??
I also have a Acronis 2012 version on a Windows XP machine.
I really need to stay with the Windows 98SE OS for this application.
The software will not run on anything newer.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the above.
Have a good day.
Les

Hi Steve,
"If this WinSE system is so important, I am amazed that you have not tried a recovery already."
This system is important however I do not have a second WIN98SE machine to play with.................. as yet.
I have restored the current machine a couple of times due to crashed drives. Just picked up another drive and reloaded
by the use of the latest Acronis backup file. That is not a problem.
What I am wondering is................. IF I purchase a new machine that is capable of running WIN98SE
but it will be a different motherboard with a different processor, etc. Will or can the Acronis file be
loaded on the new machine?? Since I don't have said machine I can't test it so I was hoping for
a hint of is it possible or a lost cause.
This existing machine is having some issues which are giving me a hint of impending doom. I am hoping that it will work
since re-building a new machine from scratch will be a huge challenge to say the least.
Thanks for the response. Hope I have explained my question better.

As a side note. I checked the "Notify me when new comments are posted"
However, I never received a email of your post. Isn't that to be automatic or
is there something else I need to check?? Thanks!!
