Sure enough, one of those was the whammy. I then moved forward with some Windows updates that I think might be the cause of the repeated hard drive /boot failures.

I created a bootable recovery CD, as the manual advised, in case the machine became un-bootable.

The software loaded and installed on the first attempt, and it allowed me to create a full backup of my machine including OS and files.

It is clearly written and easily understood it breaks down the steps needed to create a full system backup so that the layperson can do so easily.

The user manual extracted as a PDF file, was easy to navigate, and explains exactly how to use the software. The ZIP for the Acronis WD software downloaded quickly and extracted cleanly. I purchased a 2TB WD external USB drive the other day and figured I'd give the Acronis WD Edition software a try since I had the machine stable for a while.

I have an especially cranky Dell XPS15 running Windows 7 Pro - I've had to re-image the drive several times, and I've grown tired of the lengthy process needed to do so using the 5 or so DVDs that I burned using the W7 Backup & Restore > System Image wizard. This thing's getting a one-way trip to the recycle bin once I hit submit on this review. Only for it to say the uninstall failed because 'the subkey cannot be found'.

By the time I was waiting OVER an hour for it to move on from File Exclusions, I just gave up on it and decided to try EaseUS instead.Īnd the cherry on top: TWICE now when trying to uninstall this garbage, it has managed to CRASH MY F***ING FILE EXPLORER. So I get up the next day and have to wait a similar close-to-an-hour's worth of time to advance to each following step. I had to go to sleep because it was verging on 3 in the morning, and I was waiting forever for the program just to advance to the next menu option after analyzing the source disk. THAT'S RIGHT! I NEVER EVEN GOT TO THE ACTUAL DISK-CLONING PROCESS! The disk-cloning tool is unimaginably slow. Installs a shit-ton of bloatware onto my system that runs like a dozen processes in the background. Idk how the other tools in the suite work, so I can only speak to my own experience with the disk-cloning feature, but I felt like I was in the twilight zone. Whether it will work with a third party external enclosure is debatable, though.I made an account on this website JUST so I could talk about how garbage this program is for disk-cloning. However, you may use Acronis to create a drive backup image to an external drive, which you then can restore to the new drive. It is not designed, nor supported, for cloning with external drives, especially third party external enclosures. It has to recognize one of the internal drives as being ours. NiceĪcronis is only supported for use with cloning internal drives to our internal drives.

Maybe the CSR didn’t like it that I hung up on him and he must have modified something to cause this issue with responding back to the Service Incident request. I made a service resquest and a case was opened but when I respond to the service request I get a response back that my email address is not registered with the service request.

I called support and after entering all the warranty information and serial number and model information and repeating it to the customer “service” person, he said the WD version of Acronis doesn’t work with my new WD drive in a USB enclosure. Why won’t the Acronis software for the WD drive detect a WD1600VERTL drive in a USB enclosure? This prevents cloning the existing EIDE drive to the new WD drive.

Taken form Acronis True Image WD edition user’s guide: I was a fan of WD drives, that wouldn’t let you down, but now that there is a product somewhere else, THAT WORKS, and bundles with a similar reliable drive - I got to shift that way - another lost customer, and counting… I’m very disappointed that you are treating this problem with this amount of care. Why is that your software produces a bootable rescue media that doesn’t work when you need it the most : when you want to do a restore ?Īre you AWARE that your principal competitor it’s miles away ? …and that their similar product works like a charm ? And why is that your software uses “generic mass storage controller drivers” ?
