What's the future for TI Home 2009?

Thread needs solution

I'm new to Acronis products with TI Home 2009, so I don't know what happens to a product once its successor has been released.

Will there continue to be new releases with bug fixes? Will fixes for bugs found in 2010 be retrofitted to 2009, even if nobody's reported the problem in 2009? How long will 2009 be supported?

Since I bought 2009 so recently, I was eligible for, and received, a free upgrade to 2010, but after playing with 2010 in trial mode on another PC, I'm not sure I see any reason to actually use the upgrade, since the new features aren't of any particular interest to me.

Acronis usually doesn't release a new build for an old version after a newer version has been released. However, they did with TI 9. They have also stated that there would be another build of 2009 before 2010, but that didn't happen. They've been promising a new build of DD for almost a year now there's still nothing.

DD build 2239 (English), dated 9/28/2009 is now released.

Thanks, Bruce.

I scrolled through my account list this morning and totally missed that. Of course, I also totally missed the invisible email sent from Acronis informing me of the update. Maybe there's an invisible folder in Outlook that catches these...

The change log doesn't look too promising in the "actual fixes" area. I suspect this build may have been released only to fix numerous problems caused by having DD and the latest builds/version of TI installed. However, time will tell.

MudCrab,
If you don't find it in the usual places you might be able to mount an invisible TIB file and get it there. This of course is not to be taken seriously.

You're correct about True Image 9. TI-9, build 3854 was released after TI-10 came out. I downloaded the installation file but never installed it. At times I've wished that I had made the Rescue CD for it but as time goes by I will probably never need it.

So if I want to continue to receive any fixes to the product, I'd better move to TI Home 2010?

I've been in the business for a long time, and I don't think I've run across a product support policy like that before.

This company has many policies that are "not the norm."

I can't believe you guys think TI is the only product that moves onto a new version and leaves the bugs in the old version.

Hello all,

Thank you for using Acronis Products

An outdated version of a product is a version that is not developed any more (no updates). Generally, once a new version of an Acronis product is released, the previous one becomes outdated either immediately or rather soon. 

As I mentioned in the DD forum, this latest build will not install on W7 systems, which seems a strange marketing/development decision.

Do you have a regular release schedule? A new version every year? Every two years? Any particular month(s) for releases?

Should a person who bought TI Home 2009 in August be left without any support after only two months?

This policy would be a strong disincentive for buying your products.
