Acronis and NVMe

Thread needs solution

I have an Intel DC P3700 NVMe PCIe SSD. I want to be able to image to the drive, but Acronis 2015 boot media does not see the drive. I am a storage editor at TweakTown.com and I use Acronis True Image on a daily basis. I need to be able to make regular system images of my DC P3700. Is there anything I can use? Thanks in advance.

You should make a WinPE based recovery media and try it.

Any word on how this worked out??

I'm now using the Intel 750 Series NVMe 1.2 TB drive as my boot (OS) drive. However, Acronis Backup 11.5 does not recognize it.

With the large number of NVMe SSDs coming to market, what plans does Acronis have to support these. Is there some way I can inject the drivers into the boot media to have it recognized within UEFI at bootup?

Thanks.

I'm also curious on this. I'm running a Samsung SM951 NVME drive, on PCIe. I obviously need the restore process to see this drive.

Any news if this will be supported given the number of new drives coming in this space?

Again, best bet is the use of WinPE and the driver support that brings with it for such devices.

I appreciate the reply, but you didn't answer the question. My ask was not if WinPE is an alternate solution, but if Acronis will "natively" support these drives through their own Linux-based bootable media.

As you can imagine, it is far more convenient to have a single restore process for all machines, not to mention the added work to build (and test) a WinPE alternative.

Specifically, I was hoping for a reply from Igor, as per this thread:

Given that M.2 is becoming more common, and the PCIe interface is the way to go at this point for SSDs, my hope was that Acronis was working on - or better yet - already had a solution in place.

While we're discussing this, I've confirmed that the ADK for Windows 8.1 will work with SSDs using NVMe. I was unable to find a Windows 10-specific ADK, but the 8.1 detects the drive. (Win 8.1 introduced NVMe support.)

I have been unable to find a Win10 ADK at this point, but in any event the WinPE in this ADK finds NVMe drives.

(Theoretically, you could set your NVMe drive to AHCI for the installation, and could probably get away with older ADKs/WinPE versions, however you could run into a blue screen when changing from AHCI to NVMe in your BIOS.)

No need to inject extra drivers.
