Error while restoring backup Acronis 2018 Comp. 9207
Personally what is happening with Acronis True Image 2018? When I restore my January 2018 backup made by Acronis True Image 2018 Build 9207, or even with the Build 10640 CD, it in the recover option says that there are three steps, the disk that will get my Windows 10 Enterprise backed up is what I am currently struggling with the "fucking" monster update of FEV.2018 that is full of bugs. I only managed to recover my first installation of Windows 10 Enterprise for 2017 by Acronis True Image 2017, what you did with this new boot that does nothing, says it is doing, but it passes like a rocket in the three stages and does not recover anything, and the boot is extremely time consuming, ie it is not cleaning the target disk and not even restoring the backup.
What I have to do to recover this TIB file is very important to me because it has many software updates and I was confident that it would recover, and in the TIB tests this is giving OK.

Steve, you've made this comment before... "... the Rescue Media should be booted the same mode as used by your Windows 10 OS".
Just to clarify my understanding, I have a couple questions.
1. Does this advice apply to Linux or just Windows version of the Rescue Media?
2. Does this advice apply to booting the Rescue Media for backup or only for recovery?
Thanks.

Bruno, this applies to all versions of the Rescue Media whether LInux based or Windows RE/PE as all current versions are capable of booting in both Legacy/BIOS or in UEFI modes.
Recovery is the most critical time for getting this right as using the wrong / incompatible mode (as compared to how Windows boots) can result in an unbootable system.
I am not sure if there any real issues of doing Backups when booted differently to the Windows OS but this could lead to a bad decision when trying to restore / recover that backup.
Enchantech also has posted the same cautionary advice in these forums recently.
This is also covered in the ATI User Guides, i.e. See the ATI 2018 User Guide: About recovery of dynamic/GPT disks and volumes then scroll down to where it shows a table with the heading Partition style after recovery which shows as below:
Partition style after recovery
The target disk's partition style depends on whether your computer supports UEFI and on whether your system is BIOS-booted or UEFI-booted. See the following table:
|
My system is BIOS-booted (Windows or Acronis Bootable Media) |
My system is UEFI-booted (Windows or Acronis Bootable Media) |
My source disk is MBR and my OS does not support UEFI |
The operation will not affect neither partition layout nor bootability of the disk: partition style will remain MBR, the destination disk will be bootable in BIOS. |
After operation completion, the partition style will be converted to GPT style, but the operating system will fail booting from UEFI, since your operating system does not support it. |
My source disk is MBR and my OS supports UEFI |
The operation will not affect neither partition layout nor bootability of the disk: partition style will remain MBR, the destination disk will be bootable in BIOS. |
The destination partition will be converted to GPT style that will make the destination disk bootable in UEFI. See Example of recovery to UEFI system. |
My source disk is GPT and my OS supports UEFI |
After operation completion, the partition style will remain GPT, the system will fail booting on BIOS, because your operating system cannot support booting from GPT on BIOS. |
After operation completion, the partition style will remain GPT, the operating system will be bootable on UEFI. |

Thanks, Steve. It brings up one more question. And my apologies for going slightly off topic.
My Windows 10 PC is UEFI boot. My 3 year old system was running Windows 7 Pro and has recently been updated to Windows 10 Pro (via upgrade, not fresh install). The Asus M/B has a UEFI BIOS but it is a legacy boot.
Is it advisable to convert the older system from MBR to GPT? The system has no RIAD, just a C: SSD and D: HDD.It looks like MBR2GPT.exe would make the process quick and easy (which is good because I would be holding my breath during the process). What do you think the risks are?

Bruno, if your system is running fine as it is, then I would leave it alone personally. The key issue being to match the OS boot mode if you need to do a recovery else ATI would automatically convert it to GPT and to boot using UEFI as indicated in the table in my previous post from the User Guide where it says:
The destination partition will be converted to GPT style that will make the destination disk bootable in UEFI. See Example of recovery to UEFI system.

Friend Steve Smith, I solved the problem but after two days trying to understand what was happening with my backup of Windows 10 Enterprise OS.
It happens that I upgraded Acronis 2017 to 2018, and it kept all the information from my last backup of May 2017, and by cloning my HD with Windows 10 Enterprise OS, it continued the incremental backup of the first, and I had paid attention to this detail, as he imagined he was creating a new backup from scratch.
Thank heavens the TIB files have not changed their structure for this new version of 2018 and I could only recover my last backup through the boot of Acronis 2017 v.21.0.6206, where it informs that it is missing indicate where the file is TIB 1, since this is the TIB 3.
Now imagine if I had lost or deleted this backup for space say, I would never be able to recover it.
What I can not understand, is it because Acronis took these messages as important to the end user, or was it only developed for IT professionals?
I am an IT Systems Analyst here in Brazil, I am not an IT Support Analyst, but an ordinary user would never have been able to understand what Acronis True Image 2018 did, and you say that it creates a log file containing errors, but the that occurred with me was not properly an error, it was lack of information for me to know how to proceed, because with Acronis 2018 I do not have the option to go looking for the amazing TIB files, because it does not give me this option, this is a serious mistake which must be urgently fixed, or many people will have problems with this, I do not update Acronis anymore, was to stick with the 2017 quoted above.
Another thing, the Acronis program should have a better interactivity with the user, as said this program seems not made for the end user, but Acronis did not realize that many users of Acronis are ordinary users and not IT Support Analysts.
For example, yesterday I wanted Acronis 2017 to no longer search that first backup, so I start from scratch, but it does not have the user's option to search all HD and brings backup information, but I do not have the option of only delete it from the program so it no longer sees this backup, and the only option it gives me is to delete, only it physically deletes the HD from this backup without even informing me that it will do this, most programs in the market do this , so you're compromising user information.

José, thank you for the feedback for this problem. I am glad that you were able to solve the issue with recovering your backup using the ATI 2017 Rescue Media.
I can only suggest that you submit Feedback about the usability issues you have found with the ATI GUI / user interface - you can use the Feedback tool found in the ATI Help section of the GUI.
The product is intended for normal Windows end users who should not need to be IT Professionals to understand how to use it. Some users have complained that Acronis have made the GUI too dumb for their liking, taking away some of the complexity that they were used to having in earlier versions. I suspect that Acronis would need to incorporate a settings switch along the line of have a Simple or an Advanced user interface to try to satisfy these opposite views of the product.

Steve,
That "Switch" option arises once again.
I remember several of us bringing up that suggestion when beta testing 2018.
I still think a "Basic & Advanced" GUI would be a smart choice for Acronis.
But heck, who are we...just users... smile
Have a great week !

Sorry for my friend Steve Smith, I'm not going to do the work that ACRONIS should be doing, and the ACRONIS GUI is not geared to the ordinary user because a program that generates error log file and does not inform the user what is happening is a program for IT Support Analysts; now what can not be admitted in a program is that it does not inform the error that is happening as it happened to me with the ACRONIS 2018, and above all else it behaves as if it were doing the RESTORE of my backup, and in the end it did not no crap whatsoever because he needed to know where the TIB 1 was, and this I just went to deduct with the boot CD of ACRONIS 2017, so here we have a SERIOUS ERROR, which is the responsibility of ACRONIS, not mine, and if they have this forum officer some support had to keep an eye on him, and solve this serious mistake.
I have been Systems Analyst in IT for more than 30 years, I have always developed systems thinking fundamentally to the end user, with all kinds of essential observations to guarantee the integrity of the information, and ACRONIS does not have this concern, as I said above, my intention at a given time was to make ACRONIS take its TIB 1 and 2 lists from its list, which in itself was a backup of mine from the Windows Enterprise OS of 2017 (cleaner), and TIB 3 was from JAN of 2018 (plus programs installed), but it simply had only one DELETE option, and it ended up physically deleting my SINGLE backup, without even informing me that this would happen, and this is not acceptable as a premise of a program aimed at ordinary users.
