Hello

I am trying to make a Backup of a OS that will be put onto DVD.

I can do this easy, and on the CD I get for example "CentOS5.4.tif"

but the problem is, how do I put the OS or backup onto a Hard drive?

As the DVD backup has been compressed into a couple of GBs, when I do the recovery from the DVD to Hard drive, the hard rive will come back with a MBR (Master boot record) error.

I believe it's to do with the compression of the TIF file as obviously a DVD cant hold as much.

Cheers for your help

Chris

Hi Chris,

Which operating system are you using? TI11 does not support Windows 7.

You mention TIF files, do you mean TIB files? A DVD can hold 4.7GB. I doubt very much it is a problem caused by compression.

Are you trying to restore to the same machine that the backup came from?

Hi Bin

Which operating system are you using? TI11 does not support Windows 7.

I am trying to back up CentOS 5.4 x86_64. Red Hat.

You mention TIF files, do you mean TIB files? A DVD can hold 4.7GB. I doubt very much it is a problem caused by compression.

Yes you are correct with the TIF file. It is a TIB file. I agree with you on the compression, I believe Aronis would of come back stating the media is too small or somewhere on them lines.

Are you trying to restore to the same machine that the backup came from?

For this instance yes. I would like it so I'll have a disk with CentOS on it and I can install CentOS on any machine with the same specifications. Obviously the other machines will have a verision of Acronis with them.

Thanks

Chris.

I see, I know very little about linux and even less about using TI with it! Someone else will undoubtedly know more. Is it the only operating system on the machine?

As for having a disk you can use to restore to different machines (even same spec) using TI11 would be very problematic.

Hi Bin

We do have Windows 64 bit Professional that I will need to burn to disk also. Maybe I can try with that and do the same process with Linux and see what happens?

Do you know the steps I'd need to take?

Cheers
