Does not see G|Raid Drives

Thread needs solution

I just installed Acronis True Image 2017 on my MacBook Pro.  All I want to do is to backup my G|RAID 8tb drive from G-Technology with all my photos to a 2nd G|Raid 8tb drive.  The 1st thing I discovered is that this software does not see the G|Raid drives when I try to select a source disk.  I can go to the Files and Folders section and see the drives and select a source/destination and launch.  The 2 drives are daisy chained on the tunderbolt buss.  The software starts fast but withnin a couple minutes the software bogs down to a crawl.  I finally stopped it when it was up to 2 days remaining.  What am I missing?  Is this software just not compatable?

Hello Norman,

The software cannot backup data from RAID of any kind, but can store backup archives there.

Supported backup sources and destinations are listed at http://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/ATIMAC2017/#3407_2.html

Hi Slava, 

That’s a big disappointment to me. :-(( Never seen such a serious limitation. Does it work in Acronis 2018 (use 2017)? Does it work in Windows? 

 

Kind regards

Matthias

Hello Matthias,

Acronis True Image 2018 on Windows supports RAID arrays of any kind, see https://kb.acronis.com/content/11681 

A Mac version still doesn't support RAID and Apple RAID as backup source.
