I have downloaded the trial version but I can't make a image of my C (win7) drive

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I'm orienting for backup software. I'm looking at three packages.

I have a laptop with two harddisks from 500 Gb.
- C : 90Gb - win7
- D: 200Gb - programms
- E: 200Gb - Data
- F: 500 Gb - data
I have a NAS Thecus 4200ECO with 4x 2Tb disks.

Now I want to do some tests with Acronis.
- first I want to make a image of C and D on the NAS. But I can only find "making a backup of the F disk". Is it not possible to make a image with the trial version? Or do I something wrong.?
Or do I have to buy add-plus package? If that is the reason then I will choose EasUs or Macrium.

Thanks,

Nico

Can you post a screen shot of what you are seeing when you click on the button to create a new backup?

I guess ATI is not detecting your internal disks for some reason... Are your internal disks in a software RAID by any chance?

Here are my attachements.

One shows that the button "Back up now" is still grayed out. If I select the F drive, then the button is active! So it seems that al the partitions of my fysical first can't be made a image or bachup of it.
It must be possible to make a backup from my C drive to my E drive. There is enough space on E, because yesterday I tried the F drive (200 Gb - second fysical harddrive), then I get the error "not enough space".

My second attachement, I would like to make a connection to the NAS. But where can I made that? the button "ok" is grayedout.

(And is it making a backup or image? Because from C and D I want to make image. If there is trouble I will replace the image and I suppose everything is working again at the time when I made the image.).

***** EDIT ******
OK, NOW I'M LOOKING AGAIN AND READING AGAIN AND NOW I UNDERSTAND WHAT i SEE (sorry), I HAVE TO BUY Acronis True Image Home 2012 Plus Pack (English), for dynamic disk support!
So I can't realy test it, because I was very currious about the speed to backup on a NAS as destination.

Everybody has to decide for his own, but then in my opinion, it is to expensive nearly 90,- euro. On this moment I can buy EaseUS for 25,- Euro and Macrium for 45,- euro's.
So what is the advantage of Acronis?

If you try other backup software, make sure to uninstall whatever similar software you have installed. For any backup software, make sure you test ther recovery medium: boot the computer on it, try to restore a couple of files.
