Bootable Acronis Progress Bar... Doesnt Work

Wed Feb 29, 2012 2:53 pm

Acronis 10 appears to have an interesting issue regarding backup or restoration of acronis images via my bootable media. The software will get let you navigate to and start a backup or restoration task... however the progress bar never moves and other status info stays blank... but if you pay attention to the systems hdd indicator it goes wild. I have had successful recoveries this way only its a pain as you have no clue how far along or when the task will be in completed.

Ive experinced this issue on the following motherboards

Asus F1A75-M Pro
Asus P67 Sabertooth

Not sure of this is an Asus issue... but somehow i doubt it. There is no doubt in my mind that regardless of whats causing it hardware wise, its only being accentuated by Acronis' horrible coding.

it's not a hardware problem (mobo or otherwise). it's a coding issue with the progress bar. it happens in A LOT of products.

Have you experienced this same issue with acronis? Was hoping to find out whats causing the issue and see if there is a workaround. Its not as big of a deal when im restoring something like a 30gb image, but when its several 100 it becomes an issue.

Ahaha no worries. IIRC, after updating the BIOS on the F1A75-M Pro, the bar would at least show partial progress but instantly show it going to something like 33% right off the bat, but stay there and do the same thing. The odd thing was that those APU boards would actually do the task. This board the P67 Sabertooth looks to make the partitions (System Reserve and Main Partition) but not move any data across into them after hours (6 or so) of being left on. The entire time it shows the drives being accessed too :O.

Ehhh, I got impatient and installed Win 7 Ultimate from scratch on this machine. 1 day of being down on a brand new rig was killing me :lol:

Hello Welch,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. My name is Anton and I'm writing you on behalf of Acronis Customer Central.
I am sorry about this issue and I would like to help you with resolving it.

The progress bar issue could be system specific.

Hi Anton, I appreciate your contact me regarding this issue as its prevented me from accomplishing a few important tasks. The fact that you have sought me out and registered on the forums specifically to help me out does speak a lot about Acronis' tech support. I have dealt with some good, some bad, and some amazing techs at Acronis before, but this is a first for me. I will contact you shortly with the log that you requested. Thanks.
