    Acronis Home Image


    I have ordered the Windows 7 upgrade disc from Amazon and look forward to the upgrade.

    My question, would it be advisable to buy Acronis Home Image, to have a back up of my documents and Vista 64 bit, OS in the event of a problem when I do a clean install? Without the back up, in the event of a problem, with the clean install, are there any built in safeguards so all will not be lost?

    Will I be able to use the Acronis, that I purchase now for Vista, be supported with Windows 7?

    Acronis works fine, as does Norton ghost. I personally would rather use a 3rd party app instead of win 7 built in.

    Hope this helps

    Using True Image Home 2009 here on Windows 7 64bit, no problems. There is no official support for Windows 7 at this time but should be in time.

    I have been using Acronis True Image (ATI) Home v11 and have done NUMEROUS image backups/restores of my XP Pro 32 bit , Vista HP 32 bit and Win7 7232 x64 bit. (I tend to do destructive testing.... NOT advised if you do not have 2 or more HDDs with image backups).

    It works fine.

    I do not recommend using ATI for resizing partitions. I had problems with it and wound up restoring my system images on one HDD (Using ATI!) from my backups on another HDD. I think ATI has problems with certain mult-boot configurations with or without hidden parttions.

    I also don't recommend using Windows Disk Manager to re-size or shrink partitions. It could not do it either, though it did not corrupt the MBR. It seems the MFT gets in the way on a "shrink".

    I use GParted to do my partition re-sizing/moving. Once that was done I used Windows disk mangement for creating/formating and nameing, etc.

    GParted -- Welcome

    P.S. If you only have a single HDD with 1 partition I suggest you use Gparted to create a second partition and do not use the ATI "Secure Zone" option in which ATI creates a second partition.

    Thanks! GParted helped me too! Why I did not hear about it before?

    Because GParted has a nasty history of corrupting Vista OS partitions as a side-effect of resizing; thus, the general advice on the Ubuntu forums is NOT to use GParted unless you have a Vista DVD to use to run Startup Repair.

    I'm having problems recovering from a W7 Acronis Image.
    Acronis is not supporting W7 at this time.
    It's also about time for Acronis to come out with a new version.

    So .. I'm going to wait till they catch up.

    Hi,

    I find the Paragon and Macrium products work great on 7 x64.

    Paragon do a free express version - but it is extremely basic.

    Macrium do a free version that is excellent - the most efficient and fastest in the industry.

    You can get it from here :

    Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download


    NOTE: With all imaging apps - if you create/restore an o/s partition while booted into 7 - you may get permission problems with the restored o/s. You may not even be able to get to the Desktop.

    Create/restore the images from within another o/s. Or use the boot disc to restore the image, as opposed to restoring it from the 7gui.

    I have no idea if MS are aware of this major problem - let's hope they fixed it in the RTM.
