| 665374 | 2008-05-04 07:41:00 | Maybe you should create an Acronis "Secure Zone". This is a hidden protected partition which Acronis stores its Image files in. It would be quick & be a backup to your USB drive. See under Tools in Acronis. Good idea ! - to be sure, to be sure. Reliance on one medium can quickly turn scary :dogeye: Misty :) |

| 665375 | 2008-05-04 07:45:00 | What size are the created image files would I be able to fit them onto a standard CD or DVD? I am going to try drive image xml as it's free on a spare machine. | gary67 (56) | ||

I don't run Vista - XP Pro, but I'm already using 16 . 3GB with that . However, I do accept that my primary is too big . I'll have to think about the USB2 thing as well . I'm sure it is though, but I'll have to check . Nothing is certain, is it? :D |

Have been reading the user guide and, as I understand it, it depends upon what compression you use as to how many DVD's you need. You are prompted to put in the next DVD as necessary.

It would be quick & be a backup to your USB drive . See under Tools in Acronis . As suggested, I tried to create a 'Secure Zone' - it all seemed to go well, rebooted a couple of times - BUT although there is a red tick beside the drive & 'Pri,Act' beside it under flags, when I go to the next step 'Proceed' nothing happens . It keeps telling me to create a 'Secure Zone' again . I've gone through the process of 'Creating' several times with no change . Then when I try to delete it, it again tells me there isn't one created!:mad: Suggestions would be welcome . I thought about uninstalling Acronis, and then reinstalling . What do you think? And again, TIA . :) |

Which reminds me . . . . . . . . . . . ! Yes, that's what I did . However - it did take and hour & a half . It was suggested to me, that by using the 'Secure Zone' I might be able to cut the time down considerably . Hence - I was having a go . . . . Perhaps if Mzee (?sp) sees this post he (or she!) might be able to shed some light . Thanks for you comments - I rely on this forum to get me out of my pickles! :) |

| 665382 | 2008-05-07 05:16:00 | I've stuck with 10 for now as I read that 11 takes longer,so that doesn't help you! 10 takes about 20 minutes for 30Gig. | Neil McC (178) | ||
