ATIH 2011 w/Plus Pack Restore from DVD-R
I performed a complete disk backup, using ATIH 2011 with the Plus Pack, to DVD-R. The backup tool six DVD-Rs. There were no error messages. The backup completed successfully. I replaced the HDD with an identical one and tried to restore the backup on the same machine. The restore asks for the last DVD-R, says processing. Then it asks for the first DVD-R and says processing. Then asks for the last and then the first. It once asked for the fourth. The restore never gets past this point.
There was an older release of the home version of Acronis that would only backup to RW media. I wonder if this is the same issue?

Randall,
The disc switching you experienced is typical when CD or DVD is used. As a result, when you have a multi-disc backup, the switching becomes a real aggravation and confusing. When your backup exceeds 1 or 2 disc, you are much better off to use an external disk, etc as the target for your backup.
The reason for the disk switching is that TrueImage does not store by file by file but by disk sector location. PatL gave you the most practical workaround.< /p>
