If I didn't have odd-case issues, I wouldn't be posting to the newsgroups
for help. I start by Googling for solutions; when I don't find them, I try
here. I thought that was a main purpose of the newsgroups.

It is, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Or one of them, at least.

Hi, Bill,

I'm also using Acronis True Image 11 Home, and in all the restores I've
done, have never had an issue with it. And I've done a lot of restores
just to make sure I have a clean system after trying out various software.
After you've restored a few, you can get more confident.

I never use "Try&Decide", and I won't risk it. Restoring a full backup
image here takes me very little time (under 15 minutes), so it's not even
a consideration. But I am using SATA2 internal drives for this.
Incidentally, I only use complete imaging, no partials or incrementals for
me.

Same here, Bill. No incrementals. My backups are all on external drives,
though, and I think they'd take a lot of time to restore. A full backup
seems to take around an hour and a half, as I recall; so wouldn't a restore
be at least that? A friend of mine who used to be a systems programmer used
Acronis restores for years without a problem. Then he ran into a major issue
when his wife's hard drive in her laptop crashed. He eventually figured out
what to do (I have a vague memory that Acronis mentioned some errors and
asked if they should be fixed; when he answered yes, it did the restore),
but it did make me nervous.

The "restore" operation takes longer than the "backup" operation - that is
true. If it takes you an hour and half to make a full backup, I can see
the point of not doing this too often. I'll assume the reason it
takes you that long is either you're having more total data to backup (my
used space (data) to be backed up at this point is around 25 GB or so, OR
perhaps you don't have eSATA drives and are using USB2 for the external
connections to the backup drive.

I only routinely backup the C: system drive partition (windows, all
programs, and all of my user data), but not my E: and F: partitions that
have my music and video files stored on them. That keeps the size
manageable (around 25 GB to routinely backup and restore).

You're right. It's USB2 with 160 to 320GB external drives and backups of
around 70GB. I don't have partitions, and I back up everything. I do the
backups while I'm away from the computer, so I don't really care how long
they take. However, I once copied a folder from one of my Acronis backups to
a folder on my laptop, and it seemed to take forever. I guessed at that
point that a restore would not be quick.
