Just got my first real technician job today, and was told to know how to use Acronis. Thank You for this video, love the introduction and real world explanations. Learned what I needed quickly and well articulated. Badass!
Very good video but i have questions as I am completely new to computers.I am a music composer 1) I have win 7 i5 3.2 G processor and 1TB 2) I have some music softwares for recording music and some virtual instruments like kontakt etc. 3) I fear that if my hard drive crashes then what to do? 4) I keep all my data on D drive and Softwares on c drive 5) So is it possible to copy the complete hard drive on to second hard drive while i am working. 6) So the second HD will be a copy including win 7?
@elithecomputerguy Thanks for the reply but it ended up being I didn't need a clone of the OS at all. It was a boot configuration error that repaired using the Windows installation disc. I ran a couple lines of command prompt to rebuild the BCD and it worked.
Scott moulton who owns a data recovery mentions ghost etc. He says the problem with these programs is when they encounter a bad block of datat on your hard drive is they hang up. I found something called xxclone that is supposed to work better. you can find scott's videos here on youtube.
Acronis is great if you have a dedicated station. For on-site drive to drive or drive from image, you can use Clonezilla with a 16 or 32 gb flash drive.
i hope i can recover my system from an image within the bios :) for example: i have bootable flash drive conataining the software then ill plug in my other drive that contains the image. then i restore the image in the software within the bootable flashdrive :)
Thanks for your videos, I am a huge fan ! Sorry I am a newbie, please bare with me for this question: Is there a freeware disk imaging software for server 2008? I downloaded 180-days trials of server 2008+SQLserver 2008+SharePoint2010 into my laptop(and it took me forever). Acronis will only allow me to use their business version for 15 days(but I don't have $800, so if I back up an image of my laptop's harddrive today, will that image be any good in, let's say, one year from now? thanks!
Thanks for your videos .. I was not clear when would one go for a bare metal recovery over a plugging a hard drive with an enclosure into a dedicated recovery machine.
how do you feel about deepfreeze from faronics that way you never need to actually image the computer it simply never saves any changes to the computer
hi, can I make an windows installation disk with this, eg no problem with the OS or files or anything just want to create a windows installation disk with all my programs installed after installing with the disk.
hey please answer me, i have a single file popping up when i use this(such as a blank folder that is 21GB) . do you know what i a doing wrong . please answer.
I just upgraded from the 2009 version to the TI 2014 version and really like it. It has changed some of course but it's still fairly easy to use, the 2014 TI clones faster for sure with less steps involved. I would like to be able to use it to just clone my other computers drives, not install the whole suit. 09 was a little better in that respect. Everyone has their own favorite software tools and Acronis has always been part of my DVD tool kit.
@Eli Great video, as usual. My experience with Acronis differs quite a bit from yours. I backed up to DVDs but was unable to restore after a crash. Why? I don't know, Acronis only communicates via chat, not much help when your computer is dead! Here's my latest experience with spending money on line with Acronis. A month after buying True Image 2014 family pack(3 computers) I went to the Acronis site to download the software, it only showed that I had purchased a single licence for True Image not the family pack(3)! The only method of contact that Acronis permits is chat (I am a paralyzed war vet and type with one finger), I had no choice, I used chat to question the discrepancy. Acronis then made ME look up, on their site, what software I own and the serial numbers and then tells me, if that's what it says that's what you bought! I was infuriated! Forget it, Just give me my money back! Your ads state "Satisfaction Guaranteed" I am certainly NOT SATISFIED! Then comes the real kicker, the person who tells me HIS NAME IS "supervisor" says "Satisfaction Guaranteed" is only for the first 30 days and I purchased the software 38 days earlier. Whether I have actually had the software in my possession is irrelevant. He hung up on me before I got to the cursing stage! Acronis is a foreign owned company with customer NON-support in India, buy their software at your own peril!
AL, did you ever get this resolved, I did notice on the download link page it said it was good for thirty days, did you get the backup dvd, I know it was 20 bucks extra but I always buy the vendors CD as kind of a proof that I didn't just get it from a friend and use a keygen. This sounds like real poor customer service to me.
I buy software to solve problems and save time and trouble, not to dispose of excess money and waste time and trouble on a foreign company intent on ripping me off. After wasting more time researching credit card invoices, I found the proof I needed. I then was told I could download the single user version only and could "pound sand" regarding the rest of my order! Communication still limited to chat ONLY! Acronis' customer NON-service has convinced me to become a pirate, at least where they are concerned. Would you do a video on "how to"?
I have four programs that I bought from Acronis but I use superior (free) alternatives that are better written and don't have all the built-in flaws put there to prevent the customer from using the product on more than one machine. The Acronis programs are stuck on old machines that I no longer use! Remember ACRONIS CUSTOMER NON-SUPPORT WILL ONLY COMMUNICATE VIA CHAT!
If Acronis only delivers 25% of the software you bought, the program doesn't work, it refuses to honor it's satisfaction guarantee(time expired before date of delivery), the company is headquartered in Germany but will not respond on services matters and the service department in India will only communicate with you by chat AFTER YOU PROVIDE THEM WITH THE SER. # of software that has NOT BEEN DELIVERED, YET!!!! In that case your own blank CD is superior!!!! I can't believe I bought that worthless garbage 2 years in a row!!! Read up, they won't even fix known glitches when they do the micro upgrades!
Hello I like your videos I have the acronis software but it was a digital download also I am trying to get data recovery from a customers hard drive can you help
im new to acronis, and im trying to do something a bit weird, i need to use the 180gb windows 7 image i made and install it into a vertual machine on a macbook, unless bootcamp is better, basically i want to have my windows on the go lol.... email me wallybescotty at gmail dot com, if you want, im just learning more about the software and what my limitations will be lol
Just got my first real technician job today, and was told to know how to use Acronis. Thank You for this video, love the introduction and real world explanations. Learned what I needed quickly and well articulated. Badass!
ACRONIS sure has come a long way! It's nice to see how they have changed their interface but kept some things the same.
Very good video but i have questions as I am completely new to computers.I am a music composer
1) I have win 7 i5 3.2 G processor and 1TB
2) I have some music softwares for recording music and some virtual instruments like kontakt etc.
3) I fear that if my hard drive crashes then what to do?
4) I keep all my data on D drive and Softwares on c drive
5) So is it possible to copy the complete hard drive on to second hard drive while i am working.
6) So the second HD will be a copy including win 7?
Yes, you could have someone setup a RAID 1 configuration for you . An exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on two disks.
Great. Thank you you just answered in perfect time as i requested my engineer to do something like this. Thank you once again
Awesome Dood!! You Are The Man!!

@DICEMAN60 You're screwed... By encrypting your files you made the nearly impossible to hack, or in otherwords "recover"
Acronis is great if you have a dedicated station. For on-site drive to drive or drive from image, you can use Clonezilla with a 16 or 32 gb flash drive.

then i restore the image in the software within the bootable flashdrive :)
There is a standalone version for Acronis as well.
Acronis, good software.
I'll use it one day.
Thanks for your videos, I am a huge fan !

thx for the info...wouldn't the last step be to scan the files for virus before giving them to your customer?
Thanks for your videos .. I was not clear when would one go for a bare metal recovery over a plugging a hard drive with an enclosure into a dedicated recovery machine.
I'm starting a computer repair business from home should I use acronis for my customers or can I use a free one.
Thank you a lot for this video but i request you to make a video on RAW file recovery
I heard on windows 8, there's a built in feature to do what Acronis does. Is Acronis still better or is windows 8 recovery pretty good?
Eli,, can you also paste "into" the .tib file when opened with Acronis?
how do you feel about deepfreeze from faronics that way you never need to actually image the computer it simply never saves any changes to the computer
"Eli's stamp of approval" - i like how it sounds, almost like "soviet quality mark":D
just wanted to correct myself here...I don't thing xxclone has that feature where you can open the backup file and pull files out...
Just what I need thanks.
you can try downloading take ownership
hi, can I make an windows installation disk with this, eg no problem with the OS or files or anything just want to create a windows installation disk with all my programs installed after installing with the disk.
Very useful video but.. how you make the disc bootable? I burned one but it is not bootable...
Hi, can I install on my computer and onto a CD from the same license?
I have a bitdefender encrypted file that I can not recover. How do I get it back? Does this recover files with all my installations?
What can you do with a drive that windows storage manager says is "Unallocated"??
hey please answer me, i have a single file popping up when i use this(such as a blank folder that is 21GB) . do you know what i a doing wrong . please answer.
This was probably the 2010 version if I remember right...
Do you live in Detroit? I've heard over 5 sirens in your videos

It very clearly tells you at 11:24 that this is the 2009 edition.
