User of Acronis 9 and 11
When I first purchased acronis 9 and later 11, I found them to be a reliable and fairly simple way to do fast full recovery images. I liked the fact that you could do do images from Windows. The last 4 years have been frustrating. For one, viruses, worms, and trojans have figured out how to mess with drive letters on c drives or image files which means they can completely cripple an imaging system. But what is worse is that on reinstallations after crashes I am finding Acronis 11 even with the latest update 11.8101_s_en is no longer reliable even when hard drives are thoroughly checked out and reformatted and repartitioned. On my backup desktop computer for example I am simply reusing a older lightly used PATA Maxtor 250 Gb harddrive that worked fine in the past. I checked it with spinrite, ran the Seagate seatools utility designed to check it out. It passes the tests. Sea tools also checks out Smart Monitor, (the part that monitors when harddrives are starting to give errors) and says Smart Monitor has never tripped i.e, the drive is ok. Windows installed ok, but when I installed Acronis and run it I get an archive corrupted E00070020 Tag= 0xF5F8CBCF76155638 Now for those reading this, here is the question: this stuff worked for years reliably with 32 bit Windows XP Pro. This is all I am using. I tried to install a good 80 GByte hardrive on that desktop; same result: Windows installs OK, but Acronis reports file corruption. What gives?
This does not inspire confidence in Acronis. I am ready to purchase from someone else.

Ich arbeite mit True Image 10 Tome. Ab Mai 2010 bekomme ich kein gültiges Packup mehr. Ich mache jeden Monatsanfang ein neues volständiges Packup meiner Festplatte C:. Die Überprüfung des erstellten Packups wird bei 31% mit der Meldung "E00070020 Das Archiv ist beschädigt" beendet. Was läuft bei mir falsch? Wer kann mir helfen? Bitte nur in deutsch antworten, ich verstehe kein englisch. Besten Dank im Voraus.
