297566	2004-11-30 00:05:00	As it worked OK the first time, should do so again. What type of ext HD is it? In my case, the task is a lot easier for the computer. I am Imaging the C drive - 2.4gb - to the E partition - same HD - which is 17gb. I use no compression and takes about 15 minutes. Tried with low comp, but only sped it up by about 1 min. I assume yours hangs during the screen "Creating the Image" How far do the progress bars go? What level of compression do you use? Bye	Peter H (220)

297570	2004-12-04 04:47:00	Hi Heaton I have TI8 and you can append changes to add to a previously created image. I also make a backup to disc, only 4.5 Gb, so it fits on a DVD. You can't burn directly to a disc (bad omission by Acronis) but I make an image to another partition on a 2nd disc and burn that to DVD, using Nero. Now I can go into explore (I use Power Desk as my default Explorer) and just delete that back-up. Can you see your back-up in Explorer? If so, then you should be able to delete it and re-create another image.	Fishb8 (484)

I managed to format my external hard drive which wiped all the original backup and started again with a clean slate. Took about three and a half hours to back up 55 odd gigs so I am now happy with an up to date back up or as they call it an image of my computer C drive . Again thanks all.	heaton (3697)
