Acronis 2011 Home, Rescue CD fails to stay connected to network drive
Is anyone aware of any bugs or issues with using the rescue CD to recover for a ReadyNAS? While attempting to do a complete disk restore, it would get about 1/3 done and then stop complaining about possible bad media. I assume the bad media error is actually some other unexplained sudden inability to read the file and Acronis suggests it's bad DVD/CD media.
When I restore equally large sets of data from Acronis running on windows (not the rescue CD) no such errors occur.
Any ideas?

This seems odd to me as the ReadNAS is running a unix or linux o/s.
And yes, my plan going forward is to use a removable SATA drive for recovery instead of a rescue CD. I will install windows 7 on it, install ATI, and then stash it away for safe keeping and hopefully never have to use it.

Wait. Not sure you will be able to boot on a removable SATA drive. Unless it was an eSata drive. It won't work with a regular USB drive. Anyway, just make sure you can boot Windows!
I would go the other way: backup my minimum system to the SATA drive and restore from there. Then restore, download files from the file backup.

I bought one of those hot-swap drive bay carrier things (CRU DataPort10, nice piece of equipment btw) and attached it to my SAS controller. My understanding is that it can accept either a SAS drive or SATA drive. I chose a SAS drive ... it boots. It is now my rescue disc.
The intent is to continue to backup to the NAS. My expectation is that this arrangement will be able to restore from the NAS whereas the rescue CD could not.
