If you have not tried using the MVP Custom ATIPE builder script to create your rescue media, including using the same with the survival kit drive approach, then I would recommend doing so. Has Acronis become so bloated that reliability and ease of use has been lost? It used to be fun. According to various reviews, Acronis is not the best (and most reliable?) solution anyway and quite expensive compared to some simpler programs that at least manage simple full disk backups and restores reliably. If this does not work soon, I will look for other B/R software. I was in the IT business for decades so don't ask me any more patronising questions, just provide a solution that works. I have also asked Acronis SUPPORT with no resolution as yet. I also find it extrodinary that I have to download many Gb's onto my system (bloating my SSD drive!) and follow a complicated procedure that would confuse any non-computer savvy user just to create boot media - and different ones for different OS's! It is so deceiving, I kept backing up nicely, blissfully unaware that if my HDD or system failed my restore (Survival Kit hahha) would not work.Īll I expect from B/R software is to make a full backup of all disk and partitions on my PC and being able to easily and reliably restore when required. I am so disappointed with Acronis backup - as romuald says, it used to work in previous versions, I have not changed my hardware, OS or external USB drives (using the very common Seagate BUP drives for which Windows cheerfully installs the drivers in seconds). Not so lucky with WIN7! After downloading Windows AIK, it wants to burn a CD (OMG!), luckily I knew that my trusty WinZip can unpack it into a folder, installing the kit (a dozen confusing menu items), creating boot media on USB flashdrive and - after booting my Seagate BUP drive is still not being recognised!!! I can see all internal disks and partitions and the USB flashdrive and that's it! After booting Windows can now recognise my Seagate BUP drive and find. I can see that romuald is still experiencing the same frustrations as myself! After investing a lot of time I finally managed to create boot media for Win10 by choosing the Advanced option (downloading Windows ADK, installing it and creating WinPE on a USB flashdrive). (on other two PCs (HP Probook 440 G4) I have WIN10 and with TrueImage2018 have no problems to boot from the rescue disk, they also have the M.2 disks)Īs the whole issue becomes more and more complicated, not sure if want to continue debuging it futher. I agree, that the WIN7 might be an important fact. How about AcronisTrueImage, would it be there available as well ? I attempted this option already, but seems to be hanging on "Waiting for Windows AIK" (waited about 30min), so that I never waited till the end.Īpart from that, such option/procedures seem to be not easy ones: as a result it requires me to install "Windows AIK" tool, (I'm not sure if installing it brings any risk for my PC, I'm not willing to take any such risk), and then probably to create "Bootable WinPE Media" so even if I did so, then I would probably boot to some set of WIN7, (there is a dedicated option for Windows7 there it says "Download Windows AIK to create bootable media") >If you could use the advanced media creation tool and build WinREĭo you mean the tool built in Actonis: Tools/RescueMediaBuilder/WinPE-based media ? Yes, it is probably the cause of the problem, that the Acronis rescue DVD or USB bootable disk created via Acronis Survival Kit option do not contain all needed drivers, so that after boot, the USB disk, or even the HDD main C disk is not recognized. >My guess is that the drivers for this add-on are not found in the default Acronis Linux rescue media I did not have such problems with TrueImage2018, however used the on different PCs. it is possible to select AcronisCloud as a source of my backup file, however I haven't tried it. however when trying to restore - my USB disk is not recognized by the system, see attached screens. then was able to boot from that USB disk during creation of such backup I was able to make my USB bootable, using the "Create Acronis Sirvival Kit" option I was able to create a backup of my PC to the external USB disk (so at this step no problem with discovering the USB disk) I'm a TrueImage user for years (started with TrueImage2011, then 2017, recently upgraded to 2018,Īnd now got a new PC, so attempted to try the Trial of 2019 from - to see if it will work with my new PC, but it doesn't: I'm having the same problem - when booting from USB disk (made bootable via Acronis Sirvival Kit) - AcronisTrueImage2019 does not see my USB disk.
