Acronis TIH 2009 & 2010 "failed to recover" generic error

Thread needs solution

Knee deep in a most basic back, clean & restore process because TIH keeps bitching that it "failed to recover" some blah blah file or folder which it does just fine if I hit "retry".

Forced in this situation to use a Rosewill RCW-618 USB-PATA bridge via PCMCIA Adaptec DuoConnect AHA-1422 USB2.0 card from my Dell Latitude C840 to back it's data to an external Maxtor 250GB PATA drive.

TIB's do not validate nor work for partition restore but do work for file-by-file thanks to that method prompting rather than simply erroring out! It's moronic that this software is so intolerant of I/O errors with no way to configure # of retries and about the worst error dialogs I've ever seen.

Tested with most current TIH 2009 & 2010 abortions via boot CD, tried V8 but it would not read the 2010 created TIB's.

Obviously this is an issue with driver support but of course one can only pass./fail test that theory without nailing it down to 1 component & a linux driver, or can I? Hoping there are command lines I can add to the ISO to allow more verbose logging? Again an aggressive retry setting and a few commands to advanced configure how the recovery ISO's drivers works would be a "duh!" missing feature.

Yeah yeah, will run a MD5Deep & SHA256Deep against the files on both external and internal (once I am finally back up! grrr!) but this setup has not had issues before trying the recovery ISO vs. Windows installed version.

Enough that I will likely never buy another Acronis TI because both 2009 & 2010's ISOs do this.

Hello Joshua,

Thank you very much for your post. I would like to assist you in resolving this issue.

I would really appreciate if you could post a screenshot of the "failed to recover" error message that you are getting during recovery.

Am I correct in understanding that disk/partition recovery runs with errors but files/folders recovery is giving out "failed to recover" messages?

Can you tell me what builds of the ISOLINUX CD's you were using?

Unfortunately it would not be possible to add command lines to the ISO, they were not designed this way.

Correct me if I am wrong, when you place the backup files to an internal hard drive the recovery process runs without issues?

What about recovering from Windows, are there any issues?

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
