Acronis restore hangs on Lenovo M93p
I have been using Acronis for years, making image backups of my Lenovo M93p. I am using Acronis TI 2017. Last week I had to do a restore (using Acronis generated rescue media on USB) , and guess what, it did not work. At the end of the restore process, it hangs - never returns with the message "completed OK" or the like. I waited a full eight hours but it never completes. I tried to restore older images, same result. I downloaded ATI 2020 trial, and you guessed it - again, same result, the restore process hangs at the end. (I had ordered ATI 2020 at Amazon as well but given my problems, I sent this right back when it arrived). I have tried everything. Different drives; different PC; updated the PC bios; tried different backup parameters; NOTHING works. Restore hangs at the end no matter that I try, and the resulting restored volume gives boot errors (EFI corrupt). So after trying for days I started to search the web for alternatives. Best I found is called "Macrium Reflect", and the basic version is actually FREE! I tried it, works perfect. Same features; same backup and restore speed, and the restored image boots just fine, and no hangups after restore. The only thing is that the compression is not as good as Acronis, so the image file ends up being 20% larger. But hey; hard-disk space is not problem any more these days, so I can live with that. So if you struggle with Aconis True Image, which many apparently do reading the several blogs at the internet, switch to this Macrium Reflect. Works perfect, and the basic version is 100% FREE. I'm DONE with Acronis; I'm voting with my feet. Sorry.
