..... Took a backup of Helen's computer and then tried to restore on my backup computer.
Not sure if I understand you correctly here Jim. Are you saying you made a backup image of one computer and restored it on a different computer? That may not work well unless they are the exact same computers with the same devices and everything. Your backup image may have windows drivers for devices that don't exist, and not have drivers for devices that do exist. This can't be what you are doing, right??

Yea, that 170mph Carrier one is just for fun. I had it as a coop, which we would restart several times so people who had crashed could try again. But this is a dogfight version, so you can just respawn after you crash.

Yes, nice job Colin! I especially liked the Flight Announcer and his colorful commentary.

Sorry to hear that BG. Have you made sure you have the latest version of Acronis TI? Also, is there a restore image already on your laptop in a hidden partition? That would get it back to factory.
I am in kind of the same boat... I just bought a mini laptop (Toshiba Satellite T215D) last week. It has no CD because it is so small. So, I have a free version of Acronis TI 10 Personal Edition that I got last year during their promotion.
Since I have no CD I tried booting with my external hd using the eSata connection, but the laptop will not boot if it is plugged in. Catch 22, since I need it to get my 14gig restore image. Damn. So, I bought a 32gig USB Flash card. But Acronis Boot image will only install if on it if I format it to FAT32. However FAT32 will not allow any files larger than 4gig! Arggg.... So, I tried partitioning the flash drive with a 50meg FAT32 partition for Acroniis, and that worked fine. Then I tried to add another 30gig NTFS partition for my 14gig backup image. But it will not add the partition! It says it is Unable to allocate the space. Everything I try to do I run into a problem.

Sounds good Roger. Thanks for you hard work.
I am looking forward to a new gallery page. All those giant buttons on the top and bottom look terrible. I took a look at the new gallery when you posted it last week. It looks sweet and streamline.
-
Thanks. Now that I see your screen shots I remember that I did have that view before at one time. Probably an update that changed it. I'll take a look at those settings you suggested. Thx.
-
Here is the view that I get zoomed in and all the way out.
-
That is awesome Prop! One of the things I don't like about RoF is that with those really tight furballs I cannot see peripherally enough. But this would help a ton!

Hah! It's put Faces to names, not Asses to names, Smash!

I just looked his bio up on wiki, and he was born the day after me. LoL!

Yea Jim, Acronis is not like a normal 'file backup' of your system, which restores individual files over the current system. An Acronis Backup Image has everything, even the OS in it. Like Roger said, there is an option to 'Mount' the backed up Image. Once that is done, you will see it as another drive letter in your system, and you can copy individual stuff out of it. But when you are restoring the entire image, it overwrites the entire partition, so you lose what's on it.
I like Acronis, but it can be a headache sometimes. Now, when I am trying to get it to do a Restore on my new laptop it locks up when trying to Analyze my current hard drive/partitions. I'm doing a full chkdisk now to see if its ok.
-
Yes, there is an option in the bios and it is enabled.
I am going to take this back to the computer store to check it out. They have a tech lab there and I can test other eSATA plugs and buy a new one if I need to. Nobody on the Toshiba forums has posted a problem like this, so I am not sure what is going on. But that plug is certainly not in the port very good at all..
-
When you restore from an Acronis or Norton Ghost backup image it overwrites the entire partition. No format is necessary. Everything on that drive is lost and the restored image takes it place.
-
Sorry to hear that mate. But it is good to find out what the problem is when something like that happens.
Take it easy and get well soon.
-
Thanks, I'd appriciate that. It is so loose that if I just move the cord 2 feet from the plug about 1/2 inch it starts to come loose.

Well, the first laptop that I bought I had to return because the touchpad buttons simply would not work. So, I just got another one and it seems to work fine except for this stupid eSata/USB combo port.
I wanted to plug in my LaCie 1T external drive to do my Acronis Image backup and restore. But the laptop will not see that drive using eSata at all. USB works fine... But I plug in the eSata and boot up and get nothing. And it looks to me like the eSata plug does not go in all the way. This is my first time using an eSata/USB Combo port, so I don't know how each connection should look. But my eSata plug goes in all the way on the front and back ports on my desktop, and also in the external drive, but will not go in more than 1/3 of the way in this stupid eSata/USB combo port. As you can see below. The toshiba laptop forums were not much help. One guy said that was problem how it plugs in.
I asked on the Toshiba forums if this was plugged in correctly and if an eSata/USB combo port needed a different kind of plug? The answer that I got from one guy just said it look ok, and no, there is no special plug. So, all I can assume is that the eSata simply does not work. It is enabled in the bios and has that ACHI option for hotswapping turned on.

Hmm.. Well I think they way I am going to try and do this is to make my usb stick bootable. Windows only gives an option to format it, not make it a boot disk. But I found some cmd instructions on using a tool called diskpart to do it, so now it is boots and runs Acronis. Next is to make a backup, verify it, and copy it to my External hard drive. Then test restoring to make sure it all works. Thanks for the info guys. I've never done this without multiple hard drives and a cd before.

Thanks Fruit. I do already have an External HD. I guess the main thing I'm wondering about are my boot options to restore it. I don't know how to book from a LAN, or from my External HD. So, all I can think of is to boot from a formatted USB with Acronis on it. Then, try and access the external drive from there.
I also am curious about booting from a LAN. And also how access works on a LAN from a DOS or Acronis boot? If I boot from a USB with DOS or Acronis, how does the Lan come into play? Do I have to use PC names to access drives? Like: \\AndysPC\C
I think just doing it will answer some questions, but I just thought I would ask some techies first.

Nice find Friar!
At first I just assumed this was just about the flag in the conf.ini. But this is much better..
To start off, I am changing these Friendly killed messages so I feel better:

FriendTankDestroyed Killed another Can FriendCarDestroyed Wasted more bullets? FriendArtilleryDestroyed Your bravery knows no bounds! FriendAAADestroyed Guts like yours are unknown to mortal man.

Ok, I just bought a small laptop yesterday. I was looking at Netbooks and saw this really nice little Toshibia Satellite T215 that had a bigger HD and more memory (2gig) much more video memory (800+meg). All for $469.
It has a way to restore it to stock using a separate partition on the hard drive I think. But I want to use my Acronis to make a Backup image after I have it setup the way that I want. And I want to be able to restore from a bootup using another disk on my network, or external hd.
The bios has options to boot from the hd, usb, lan, fdd. The laptop also has a eSata port on it.
So, I was thinking I could for a USB stick to boot with Acronis to restore my image. My USB stick is only 8gig, and my backup will be 20gig uncompressed. (Not sure how big if I compress it) Maybe I can access the image from the external hard drive using esata or another usb. Or, is there some way to use the LAN to access the backup file from an Acronis boot?
Is there any best practiced way of doing this? Is the booting from LAN useful, or what is that for? I tried to boot from LAN but it said there was no boot file. I don't know anything about that. Maybe it is for network engineers who setup lot's of pcs and not the way to go?

No problems for me normally. But I agree that we don't need all of these updates. It seems to work just fine for what we need, and then we get 5 unnecessary fixes for something that was not broken. Then Tint stops working sometimes.
I understand TS wanting to continue developement, but they are using their customers as beta testers, like it or not. I would be interested in why, if DarkStarr has a choice, do they update their software so often? Maybe some users want it?

Oops, well I see from your reply to FT that is exactly what you are doing. I have never tried that, but as we have mentioned there would be technical problems. My first guess is that would probably never work unless it was two of the exact same computers, and the backup images was of a basic windows install.
