Acronis 2011= Fail. Keep 2010

Thread needs solution

I've purchased every Acronis TI version since TI 7. I thought I'd learned my lesson. :( Never purchase a new version until it's at least 9 months old. This is what I did on 2010. It works as advertised on a wide range of hardware. 2011 does not allow you to choose a folder for backup. Instead, it forces you to use the root of a drive and creates a "My Backups" folder. BS!!! In Win 7 x64, the progress bar disappears mid backup. A balloon tip says the backup completed successfully. More Acronis BS. On shutdown it claims it is still backing up and delays shutdown by at least 10 minutes. 2011 has no option to verify a backup! Who wants to restore when the likely result will be an un-bootable system? Once again Acronis has released an Alpha product on unsuspecting customers.

I'm using an MSI 790FX-GD70, AMD X6 1090T with 4GB of G Skill PC-1600 Ram. Don't bother asking me to create a support ticket unless you plan on refunding my money. I'm sick of jumping through hoops to make your product work! Shadow Protect and Acronis 2010 work just fine. Buy your own hardware and do your own beta testing before product releases. Acronis 2011 is a bad joke. :-(

I agree the user guide does take some time to read.

1. The My Backup folder is a default folder unless you actually select a pre made folder - see png which is a VM Vista making an image to a mapped drive in the folder Acronis Beta.

2. To verify a backup after it has been made manually, click on the Operations button and select Validate backup.

3. To verify as part of the image/backup session then Disk Backup options needs to be clicked, which will bring up the Options page with the entry Validation, you then click on the down arrow to expand the validation entry (blue circle), from here you can tick the Validate backup when created, or choose a schedule for validation.

I agree Acronis 2011 is unreliable, the user interface sucks. I have use acronis since v7 also and loved it. v11 before they went to the year versions is the best, but it don't work with Windows 7. I'm going back to v2010 for Windows 7. Tired of Not backed up yet BS.

I agree ATI 2011 is unreliable and I have to keep using 2010. ATI 2011 tries to mimic Apple's time machine (which is fool-proof), but meanwhile it provides many advanced user options, which causes a design conflict and therefore bugs. I hope ATI chooses one philosophy, not two. I believe sticking to 2010's design philosophy is actually the best choice for advanced PC users.
