I thought everyone would like to know its FREE the full version 8 on PC Pro March 2008 edition. I get it via a sub but it should be in the shops any day now.
Well worth getting a great mag and Acronis for a small price and before any comments No I dont get commision

This appears to be a general problem with many acronis versions.
Other than that I also recommend its use.

If all you need is a backup and disk clone capability the free Seagate Discwizard uses a later version of Acronis (much faster disk clone than v8 when running from a bootable CD) Only thing is I think you must have at least one Seagate/Maxtor drive

However copying the backup to disk and running the verify again always works so its a problem with USB reading in some way during the verify. Whether the same will happen during an actual recovery I don't know as I have not had the need to restore my PC yet.
The USB problem has been around since at least v8 so I don't know why it has not been fixed yet. See the Acronis forums for info and reports on this.
I believe it only affects USB hard drives. Writing to internal or USB CD/DVD does not suffer this problem as far as I know.

This was fixed with V10 onwards however but if you continue to use ide drives its fine
I had been using the free version 8 very happily for a long time up until then as it was given away free on a cover CD some two or so years ago iirc or it may have been acronis deluxe i started with first but i was forced to upgrade due to the sata issue which im not at all unhappy about as its a great bit of software which ill continue to use

My USB is 1.0, I think. And I have plenty spare capacity on my EHD. I wonder if I am looking in the correct place for reports seeing the problems that Peter seems to be experiencing.

Quote from: Bill_M There`s also a known problem when trying to recover using the acronis V8 boot CD as it wont detect sata drives as i found out when disaster did strike
Some BIOS' have an option to have the SATA emulate IDE - never had to try it, but might 'save the day' for somebody in the future if they remember to check.

Quote from: dgdclynx I ran the validation on my Jan 11th archive and it went ok. At least I didnt seem to get any problem reports. I then created my Jan 18th archive and it validated too. These were carried out as separate operations. So I cant see any problems.

I just went back to examine the detailed report and all it said was that the operation was succesful.
