Therefore when I have a chance to use a boot USB/CD to do imaging, I restrain from installing the imaging app. You cannot use Acronis True Image 2015 for file-level operations with these file systems (file backup, recovery, search, as well as image mounting and. Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 (The Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 file systems are supported only for disk or partition backup/recovery operations.

I want to keep my system as clean as possible by minimizing unnecessary software on my computer. Acronis True Image 2015 supports the following file systems: FAT16/32. In reality these situations are very rare so I find myself keep using the OS for several months to half a year. I normally restore the images when I suspect there could be slight chances of malware infection, or somehow the system is broken. So I never find the need to image the OS partitions frequently. I keep all data files separate from the OS partitions, and back them up frequently manually (using Windows Explorer copying LOL).

The way I do it is clean install an OS, install major programs (MS office, photoshop, acrobat etc), update, then delete all temp files, and cold image the whole OS using at least two imaging apps (choose among IFL, Acronis, Shadow Protect, Paragon and Clonezilla), store the image files on at least two extra HDDs (one internal, one external). Me however, kind of used to the cold imaging of an OS. Hot imaging nowadays is much more convenient than the old school boot USB method, and it's reliable also. Consequently I have since uninstalled ATI 2014 and I now only use its Linux boot disk for backing up (and I continue to use DS as well). That said, the ATI 2014 installation was huge (in size) and hot backups had some quirky issues. In all of the preceding cases the resulting image sizes were pretty close, with ATI's images about 5% larger than those of DS. For cold backups, ATI 2014 leaves DS in the dust, backing up in about half the time of DS! ATI 2014 is also nearly twice as fast as DS making differential snapshots (DS doesn't do incrementals), but (interestingly) I find DS is able to complete its restores in about 10 - 20% less time than ATI 2014.

Insofar as performance, I found the free ATI WD Edition to be totally crippled, taking at least double and often triple the time of ATI 2014 to backup and restore! For hot backups, ATI 2014 was about 20 -30% faster than Drive Snapshot (depending on whether I was backing up my Win7 or XP system).

#Acronis true image 2015 upgrade

I did not upgrade to ATI 2015 as the ATI 2014 boot disk works great on my Win7 and XP systems and the 'what's new for 2015' didn't impress me. I am an Acronis TI 2014 user, along with Drive Snapshot and formerly, the free ATI WD Edition. Looks like Acronis and SP would be my imager of choice for Windows system in a while. Granted, I only use the boot CD and image from outside of Windows. I know it was fast before, but did not realize it's so much faster than other imagers.Дespite ppl reported bugs in the 2015 version, I have been using Acronis for more than 10 years and never had any problems. The speed of Acronis is just too impressive. The most significant difference is the time used: Acronis only needed 1.7 min, SP 3.2min, and IFL 5.1min. The resulting images are almost the same size: Acronis image: 11.6GB, IFL image 11.7GB and SP image 12.4 GB. The only options I changed were the compression level: for Acronis and SP, used high compression for IFL, used enhanced size - A. In all three programs, default parameters are used. The test was to image the whole SSD OS drive, and saved the images to the HDD drive. Have a 2nd HDD in the same computer as a storage drive.

File system is NTFS, Windows 8.1 Enterprise X64 on a 128GB SSD. NB: there is no advantage of a clone vis a vis an image+restore operation.Tested the backup speed for three imagers (all boot cd, and cold image): Acronis TI 2015, IFL v2.93 and Shadow Protect v5.2.4. If you just want an image backup, run the backup from within Windows.

*Do not restart* the computer with both the original dick and the newly created clone in the system at the same time.

If you really want a clone, create the recovery CD and clone from the recovery CD. Agreed, it is supposed to be supported, but as you can see, it might not work, and you don't know why. Restore and clone operations should be done from the Acronis recovery CD and should not be started in Windows. To go back to a disk, you have to restore the image onto a disk. Run this again and you will get another file, therefore you have backup history. Run this again, and you get a bran new copy and you lost the previous 'version' of your backup.ДЄn 'image' operation (disk and partition type backup) will create an image *file' on the destination disk. You can consider this a 'backup', but the result is a disk. A 'clone' operation will create a disk identical to the original disk.
