Robert, can you please tell us what these problems are? I am using Acronis True Image 10 Home, and the only problem I had was a misinterpretation on one screen, but once I got it, no problems. have done many images of system- and other drives and installed them on other drives with no failures. thanks Lembit ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert" <robert at servicexp.com> To: "'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues'" <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 1:26 PM Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Petulant PC > Be very careful with Acronis TrueImage, with out going into detail, the > product seems to get worse with every update.
