To Whom It May Concern:

I am sharing with this list an accounting of my experiences in testing and
"removing" the "Acronis [alleged] True Image 11 Home" Backup product on my
computer, which are described in detail in the following 2 forwarded e-mails
that I have sent to support@acronis.com.

Does anyone on this list know of any Backup product other than Norton Ghost
that will create a true Image Copy Backup of Windows XP Pro SP2, and which
takes all of its Image Copy Backups under a basic DOS System where there are
no open and constantly changing System Files? To my knowledge, only Norton
Ghost takes all of its Image Copy Backups under a basic DOS System where
there are no open and constantly changing System Files. If there is any
other Backup Utility that takes its backups in this manner, then I would
like to evaluate this product. Thank you.

I've used Acronis 11 a number of times and it worked fine for me.
I found that it creates the image upon reboot and before the OS loads...
so it can copy any files that would normally be not copyable.

The only thing is...I never tried the high-compression option...
so that *might* be where the problem lies.

Why not try again with "no" or "low" compression
