    Acronis and DataRAM RAMDisk


    Hello All:

    I've been using Acronis for years without a hitch. That is, until I installed Windows 7.

    Then the BSOD's started. I upgraded to version 2011 because I read it was compatible with Windows 7 x64.

    Recently, I've been getting BSOD's again: Stop Code 50 with snapman.sys pointed to as the culprit. snapman.sys is one of Acronis' drivers.

    After scouring the Internet for many hours I stumbled upon something:
    All Acronis versions are incompatible with DataRAM's RAMDisk, which I happen to use.

    The 'fix' is to install updated snapapi driversfrom Acronis' site:
    Compatibility of Acronis Software with Dataram RAMDisk | Knowledge Base

    I've been pulling my hair out for a long time over this and I surely hope that it will save someone else from premature baldness!

Using Dataram RAMdisk
in Performance & Maintenance

Mentioned recently I swapped my hard drive for an SSD, then increased RAM to 8 GB. Installed RAMdisk (512 MB) and trying to send all the temporary files I can think of. So far sending the cache for Google Chrome and IE, also redirected TMP and TEMP folders to RAMdisk. Anything else?
Hi there For current Acronis users the upgrade to 2011 IMO is well worth the small price (approx 25 EUR). New USB 3.0 support, direct conversion of .tib into .vhd files (great for P2V and V2P conversions of Virtual Machines) plus all the other stuff you would expect from a robust backup...
