Windows 7: Acronis worked w/7100 but won't w/7600???

Acronis 10 home worked very well with my RC 7100 x 64. I know this because I've restored images from it in 7100. Now that I've installed 7600 x 64 and run Acronis from windows it says it's incompatible and won't start. Am I going crazy or what? I've tried running in compatability mode but no joy.

From Acronis Forums..

My problem is solved by ditching Acronis and installing Marcium Reflect (Free version). I also ran the Windows Backup and made a complete image with it also. I've got my images on separate backup drives (both internal and external) so I feel pretty safe now.

Glad everything worked out for you!

Never let me down... I hope Marcium Reflect performs as well.

Same here with Acronis.

I had 2009 installed and working successfully on Windows 7 (7600 x64) and just recently switched to 2010 which seems to have a great many interesting new features and improved old features and generally works even better than 2009 did. I just did an incremental back up with 2010 over a back up that was started with 2009 and everything is working fine. Btw, I think, but am not 100% certain, that 2010 is out of beta now.

I've tried others, but for me Acronis is the best.

Yep, Acronis 2010 is out of beta and available at their site. 30.00 upgrade pricing.

Lots of new features.

Another vote for Macrium.

It is by far the most efficient imaging app. Worked flawlessly on every o/s - including beta builds that I have tried it on.

Not quite as many features as some - but you may not want all those bells and whistles.

It is so small and fast , waiting for others to do their thing is tedious.

I have long used acronis on xp and vista and it has worked well.

However, when I tried to use it to resize 2 partitions to make my os partition larger and my data partition smaller on a 1 TB WD drive (under W7x64 7229) prior to doing a clean istall of RTM, I ended up with 2 corrupted partitions. The os partition came back with CHkdsk errors and I started BSODing.

THe data partition was a complete mess. The directories looked ok, but the vast majority of files were unreadable.

I can't fully blame acronis as it may have been an OS or other issue (7229 was not a final release, but ...)


Fortunately I had a backup and did not lose anything.
