Windows 7 warned me that smart had tripped on my main hard drive. I bought a new drive I figured I had True Image 2014 so I would use that to clone my failing drive to my new drive but it never worked.
I downloaded Acronis Migrate Easy and that did work just fine and I am back up and running on my new drive only.
I have a 1TB WD USB drive that I want to use to image and back-up my files but Acronis keeps failing as does Windows back-up. Could someone please offer me some ideas on how I can schedule backups from my C drive to my WD USB.
Many thanks

No. I had a Seagate 1TB SATA internal hard drive that Win7 says was failing. I bought a NEW 1 TB SATA Seagate internal hard drive and after using Easy Migration the system is back up......................
I want to back up my new SATA drive to my WD usb drive and it keeps failing.

I am surprised that ME 7 worked when TI 2014 didn't as the 'clone' feature of TI is an updated version of ME 7.
Did you attempt to clone from wihtin Windows or from the recovery media? Cloning of OS drives should commence from the recovery media (not a Windows reboot) for best results.
When you say 'it never worked' what exactly happened and didn't happen?

Hi Colin and thanks for offer of help,
Long story short is my hard drive(internal Seagate 1 TB) was failing according to Win7, SMART was tripped. I went out and bought a new hard drive with the same specs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to clone my failing drive to my new drive using TI 2014 and it kept failing, which is a time consuming process in itself. I found by using ME it worked the first time and my new drive is working and my old drive is out of the desktop now.
So as a backup I have a WD 1TB external drive which has been formatted and Win7 see's. All I wish to do is use that WD to act as backup device. To keep an image of my new C: drive. TI 2014 is not doing that.
