Guest lisen Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 I use acronis to backup and recover the system and partitions, but sometimes I found that the image has been corrupted in one of the partitions. Now I placed the images on one dynamic hard disk. Acronis told me that I could not recover these images unless I use the rescue bootable media. and What are the pros and cons for placing images of backup on dynamic hard disk?
Guest Juli Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Re: What are the pros and cons for placing image on removable hard disk? When you say 'dynamic hard disk' do you mean external hard disk (connected via USB or 1394 etc), or a Windows dynamic disk partition?

I think you're asking for trouble (using any dynamic disk). (I'm assuming here you are NOT talking about something like an external USB drive, but really mean "dynamic").
Guest Juli Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Re: What are the pros and cons for placing image on removable hard disk? If you do mean dymanic disk, it cannot be accessed if your XP (must be pro version) is corrupted. So you'd better put your image on a basic disk.

Guest Bill in Co. Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Re: What are the pros and cons for placing image on removable hard disk? I use Acronis TI all the time with a USB external hard drive, and without problems. Your biggest problem is figuring out WHY your previous images were corrupt. If they were corrupt on that hard drive, what make you think it's going to be any different with an external drive, UNLESS your HD is failing???

Guest lisen Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Re: What are the pros and cons for placing image on removable hard disk? Thanks, Bill. I don't know the exact reason. But I think that could be caused by the previous disk distribution operation. I used Acronis Disk Suite to resize some partitions. And, another question is how you recovered the image with ACRONIS TI from USB external hard disk? Did you use the backed up bootable rescue media to boot the system first? ACRONIS poped up a window which said that "you should use rescue media if you want to recover from the image that was stored on external dynamic hard disk.

I've done it both ways: using the boot CD (which works if you can't boot up into Windows), but more often in Windows (which is a bit easier - I run the TI restore program (after launching TI), and it will reboot, when required, and finish up down there (at the pre-windows level). > ACRONIS poped up a window which said that "you should > use rescue media if you want to recover from the image that was stored on > external dynamic hard disk. > > "Bill in Co." <not_really_here@earthlink.net> > дÈëÏûÏ¢ÐÂÎÅ:%23$0dFeZ2IHA.4492@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> I use Acronis TI all the time with a USB external hard drive, and without >> problems.

Guest Juli Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Re: What are the pros and cons for placing image on removable hard disk? It doesn't matter where you put the Acronis backup image, as long as it doesn't get corrupted and you, or Acronis, can access it when it is needed. Wherever you put it, when you need to recover from it, you need to use Acronis bootable media to boot up the system if your Windows cannot boot up. If your Windows can boot up then you can access the image by running Acronis from within Windows and don't need a rescue media. I think you need to figure out why your previous images got corrupted, because the image file gets corrupted, then other files can got corrupted too.

Guest lisen Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: What are the pros and cons for placing image on removable hard disk? Thanks. Juli Because I placed that image on a separated partition, there was only that one file on it. so I didn't know what was wrong. Could the re-size operation cause that corruption?

Guest Juli Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: What are the pros and cons for placing image on removable hard disk? It shouldn't but can be possiblely the cause. You can make a test by trying resizing the partition again. Of course you keep a safe copy first. "lisen" <null> wrote in message news:%23y2mc9l2IHA.4772@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Thanks.
