Hi Guys

Got a copy of Acronis 10 Beta, works fine in Vista RC1, backup /
restore to / from network folders no problems. There are a few minor
bugs which I have reported but nothing show stopping, except don't use
the Acronis Secure Zone option, it mucks Vistas' boot file. If you
want a copy you can sign up for beta testing at the Acronis Home page
or e mail them with a request for Acronis 10 Beta.

FWIW I tried the built in backup which still seems typical MSFT, half
arsed and unfinished. I could backup user folders to a network drive
but the only option for a full image was to DVD and took forever to
complete. This is fine but when I am testing stuff I want a full image
restore and I want it now not in several hours maybe if it actually
works. Plus I want an image on a network folder not on a DVD - I don't
understand why MSFT did this....by the time Vista is full of software
and files you will need dozens of DVDs to get an image out of it and
about a months downtime to write one.....just silly.

I will attempt to restore the MSFT version now I have proper image via
Acronis, should be interesting.

Acronis 9.0 Home works great with Vista..

Yeah but not on all configurations of hardware. My particular SATA
drive was no good with Acronis 9.0 - 10 is specifically designed to be
Vista compatable not accidently so, in fact 9.0 would not install on
5384 Beta 2 in my case, but I did not bother trying it on RC1 as I
have only had RC1 installed couple of days and I had the 10 beta
anyway.

Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0 gave me BSOD with Beta 2 and RC1

Never got a BSOD in Beta2 with 9.0 but the install failed and it would
not run or uninstall for that matter. 10 Beta works fine though.

Hey Paul, I haver Acronis 9.0 home I'm trying to install, and I keep getting
the install program telling me there is something interfering with the
Acronis installer. I have a 64bit Vista RC1. Any suggestions?
 
I have not tied it on the 64bit Vista yet.
