| Guest | Re: Serious Acronis TrueImage problem I have restored my drive about 10-15 times now (lots of testing). I am also using the latest version of TrueImage HOME (Vista ready). I have never had this happen.

I have moved all but Desktop onto a RAID1 array. So that narrows it down at least. This is really pretty bad, as there are a lot of standard hardlinks in the User folder, and I have added a bunch of junctions as well. It will be quite painstaking to find them all and make a batch file to delete them and remake them. I just checked the virtual machines with TrueImage and they are just single drive/partition installations which don't suffer from this problem, but with my new way of organising things it looks like restoring images is going to be more work this way rather than less. ss. |

Shouldn't Acronis make an 'image' of the HDD ? - then why is these changes not backed up with the image ? ¨ That's kind of odd.... Your image was created AFTER you made these changes right ?
