I have just updated to the latest version of Acronis true image home edition ( a complete pain in itself, how easy
would a simple patch would have been)

regardless now i am unable to use my external usb hard drive as a backup device.
i have tried all the different back-up methods and the program just freezes and then requires a re-start.
this very usb device used to work fine.
i have read this 4k cluster size issue, so have formatted my drive in different cluster sizes all to no effect.
i have also plugged the usb device into the pc both pre and post power up, again no effect.

what is going on, why is this so difficult ?

your other posts never explain a solution....
i was recommended this product and after making the purchase have has to revert back to microsoft backup.
note back-ups to my other internal sata drives work ok.
