Acronis secure zone not created by program or system when i want to backup files to c:\

Thread needs solution

hello,
I have win7 installed on c: (250GByte)
But acronis cannot backup to itself.
So i think i create a asz off 100 Gbyte.
I followed the steps and after the reboot acronis starts in linux en gives a error and has not created the secure zone.
I have a usb disk of 500 gbyte and plug it in but it does not schow up in store disks.
How can I back up win7 (250) if i cannot create ASZ or put it on usb?
PLease help

What version of Acronis True Image (ATI) do you have?
Is your USB 2.0 or 3.0?

I have acronis 2012 on win7 ultimate on a 2gigahtz and 2 giga ram. My usb is 2.0.
I now have installed win7 again with these settings;
on c: \win 7
on d: \backup
on e:\ mydoc
I backuped c: to d: and went fine. But not tested the validation or if the tib is really good. After that I started a non-stop backup but for a reason it stopped. Gives no error. I have enough harddisk space for the nonstop backup 50.000 mbyte = 50 gbyte.
But can it be that the non stop does not work becouse i logged in as a standaard user? But in the backup details i logged in as administrator so i can backup nonstop! And the first time gave no error. But after a wile it stopped working.

I have no a tib on d:\backup how can i test it? can i use the new future to access the tib from acronis? i heard about accessing the tib manueel. If that works then the tib must be right.

I have a second problem. I think my MBR has a rootkit. But to use acronis 2012 to clean the MBR and put back the c:\ drive does not work. I get error that the system has no MBR.

If I restore the c:\ drive without the MBR then my win system must work from c: does it not? Or how can i make my system so that it starts form c: again?

Non stop backup creates a hidden folder on the root of the destination disk/partition. You can unhide hidden files to see the "time explorer storage". Feel free to browse it. Is there any content in here?

You can do the following to "test" your tib. This is by order of increasing level of "testing"
- In Windows, double click on the TIB file, if it opens, your TIB is probably good,
- In Windows, for a disk and partition backup, mount the archive. If it mounts, your TIB is probably good.
These 2 above can fail for other reasons (ie software issues) than a bad TIB, so let's continue:
- In Windows, right click on the TIB file, choose "archives", validate. If this completes, you are in good shape.
- From the recovery CD, validate the image,
- From the recovery CD, mount the image,
- From the recovery CD, recover a couple of files from the backup (works for a NSB, file backup or disk and partition backup)
- From the recovery CD, restore your backup on a trial disk,
- From the recovery CD, restore your image on the disk you backed up (a real restore!)

Of course, you don't need to do everything in the list of be confident. Doing validations in Windows can be automated as a task and is a good way to be systematic about testing.

What do you mean by "use Acronis to clean the MBR"? Did you use disk cleansing?
If you are certain that the MBR is corrupted, a simple way of cleaning a disk is to use the Windows installation DVD, choose install, repair computer, command prompt. And then use the DISKPART CLEAN command to reset the disk.
Then use the BOOTREC command to create a new MBR, boot records etc.
Then use the Acronis recovery CD to recover the C:\ partition.

Before you clean the disk, make sure that your backup contains all the partitions on your system disk. Right click on the Computer icon on your desktop, choose manage, storage, disk management. Maybe there is a hidden "system reserved" partition, or some other hidden partition. Make sure they are all included in your backup, in particular, but not only, the "active" partition.
You will need to restore all these partitions to make sure your system will boot as before.
Upon restore, you might have to use the Windows installation DVD to "repair the startup of your computer".
