Raid 0 Basic or Dynamic?

Thread needs solution

I was using Acronis 2010 with raid 0 basic disks to be cloned on a single external Hard Drive USB3 with no problem.
I decided to upgrade to Acronis 2012. Impossible to clone anymore.
After cloning starts, twenty seconds later the computer shuts down and restarts Windows 7 64.
The Acronis specialist says that raid 0 is dynamic and cannot be cloned by Acronis.
When I go to Disk Managment, I see that my internal hard disk is BASIC.
Can you help?
Thank you

I would say your issue is most likely from having remnants of a previous version that you upgraded to 2012.

You should try the following basic troubleshooting of this type of situation:
- export your backup settings,
- in device manager, uninstall any Acronis device you see,
- use this kb article to remove snapman: http://kb.acronis.com/content/1620
- uninstall 2012,
- reboot,
- use the clean up utility here: http://kb.acronis.com/content/24545
- reboot,
- in msconfig, disable all non-microsoft start up items and services (that creates a clean boot environment),
- reboot,
- install 2012
- verify the problem is solved. If it is solved, reverse the changes you made to msconfig and import your backup settings. Start a new backup chain. If it is not resolved, you have to go back to Acronis support.

Unfortunately there's no feedback whether the suggestion above solved the problem.

I have the same issue. ATI 2012 running on a brand new Lenovo Thiinkpad W530. The installation of ATI 2012 is fresh. No older version has been upgraded. The notebook uses Intel Rapid Storage Technology to provide what I understand to be hardware RAID. I have a RAID 0 across 2 SSD's which I would like to clone to a single external USB 3.0 disk.

When I try to use the clone feature the software asks me to reboot. After rebooting into ATI I see the hour glass for a couple of seconds and the machine is rebooted into windows 7 64bit again. No indication of what could have gone wrong in the logs.

Would greatly appreciate your help!

Thanks!

Why are you trying to clone? If this is for regular backup purposes, do a backup.
