| 1143359 | 2010-10-11 17:45:00 | I've found that booting off the Acronis boot disc and making an image takes longer than using the program in Windows. Odd I have always had the opposite now I use the active@boot disc instead |

| 1143361 | 2010-10-11 19:27:00 | Decided to take the plunge and buy Active@. They sent me a registration code and no way would it fit the register box,one block short.Until I realised the file I downloaded was preregistered to me anyhow! Then trying to create a boot disc,no way could I select an optical drive,until I loaded a cd first! I paid for Acronis years ago, but got sick of all the updates.Mind you it has saved my bacon a few times.Has always worked. |

| 1143362 | 2010-10-11 19:31:00 | This one's for Wain really but may be of interest to others... Playing Devil's Advocate on the non free stuff have a look here: http://disk-imaging-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ Active@ Disk Image has a lot of blanks but do I really need what's missing. I haven't even got a file server here - just the lappie and the external drive. I'm going to download an evaluation copy and see how I go with it but was the basis of their recovery CD that you only get access to once you've paid? How do I know it will work and is it going to require another download of something in order for me to make it? Thanks for your time so far. |

That's what I think as well.I only do a full image. "I'm going to download an evaluation copy and see how I go with it but was the basis of their recovery CD that you only get access to once you've paid?" Once the program is registered the option to make a recovery disc is available. "How do I know it will work and is it going to require another download of something in order for me to make it?" |

| 1143365 | 2010-10-11 20:52:00 | Err..Sorry to be a painin the ... but ...what's the difference between an incremental backup and a differential one? | tuiruru (12277) | ||
| 1143366 | 2010-10-11 21:47:00 | Have a look here:- www.backupcritic.com Some time today I'm going to try an image using Active@ from a 200 Gig seagate to an External USB2 200 Gig Maxtor and see what the time difference is if any. |

| 1143368 | 2010-10-11 22:53:00 | Problems Problems Problems OK - I downloaded and installed the trial version of Active@ Disk Image. When I tried to run it I got a little pop up box saying: “Active@ Disk Image has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.” So I uninstalled it using Revo uninstaller and rolled back the restore point that I had created prior to the installation. I then cleaned the registry using Comodo System Cleaner (it seems to find more than Ccleaner and I've never had any trouble with it), rebooted and did a new installation. Got the same message. Any ideas as to what the fault is and what I do next? Could the Macrim and Paragon installations be interfering with it? |
