Huge disk-sized backups with TI 2014 on Surface Pro 3
I have used True Image for years, but TI 2015 on my Surface Pro 3 Windows 8.1 machine is creating giant, disk-sized backups, both for the first backup and incremental backups. I am not doing sector-by-sector, yet it creates a backup file that is about the same size as my entire SSD drive (256 gb).
I uninstalled TI 2015 and installed TI 2014, and TI 2014 works fine. (TI 2014 is also Windows 8.1 certified).
Any ideas what might be going on with True Image 2015?

I have the same issue on my Surface 3. The backup created is huge, nearly the size of the SSD (as if it were a sector-by-sector backup). Hopefully the Acronis team will solve this quickly
BTW - the link to the article referenced in Anna's reply (above) goes to an article "50174: Acronis True Image 2015: Bootable Media Created by Universal Boot Media Builder Contains Trial Version of Acronis True Image" which I find 'not on point'.

Thank you enchantech and anna.trifonova - I will anxiously await for the KB to resolve this issue. At least for now I have a huge but adequate backup. As the 1734 article points out, it is un-encrypted as Windows was the launch pad for Acronis. Any restore from this backup will not be encrypted (as mentioned in article) ... but I am off-topic, so enough.
