Winows 6 limitations and compatibility

Thread needs solution

Hi guys,

I want to take an image of a partition (Partition 1 Drive ) that has been installed with Windows 7.

I intend to use Acronis TrueImage Echo Workstation (+Universal restore).
My computer has a dual boot to XP and Windows 7 (Ultimate)

I need to be REALLY sure about integrity and reliability...

1.
If I install this product on Windows 7, and will it make reliable backups that can be restored under Windows 7?

2a
If I run a backup and restore of a Windows 7 partition, (using an XP partition with Trueimage installed) can I make perfect reliable backups?

2b
Can these Windows 7 partitions be restored using Acronis TrueImage installed on a bootable XP Partition?

2c
Can these Windows 7 partitions be restored using Acronis TrueImage installed on a bootable Windows 7 Partition?

2c.
Can these Windows 7 partitions be restored using an Acronis TrueImage Recovery CD?

Thanks

Pete

Unfortunately, Echo versions do not support Windows 7, those OS family is supported by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, please check this article for the detailed information.

2a Yes, you can install your product on XP, and you will be able to backup Windows 7 partitions. We do not expect any difficulties here.

2b Sure, you can perform a recovery from XP, but note that product will ask for reboot if you performing some partition recovery, in order to complete the operations in non Windows mode

2c Unfortunately, no. Windows 7 is not supported by Echo.

2c. Yes, you will be able to restore partitions from bootable CD in this situation.

I'd recommend you to try the trial version of Acronis Backup&Recovery 10 Advanced Workstation, you will be able to backup up from Windows 7 directly with it.

I'd like to make sure all your queries regarding Acronis products are resolved.
Additionally to this, you are welcome to ask me any other questions concerning Acronis, and I will assist you further.
