Step by step instructions on backing up your hard drive with Acronis True Image 11. Having a hard drive backup image will allow you to restore your computer in minutes rather than days. This video has raised a fair number of comments. Sometimes my work commitments prevent me from posting quick replies. Please accept my apologies for delayed or missing comments.

@femfeedr Thanks. I bought the Acronis True Image, took my laptop to a techie friend and we managed to clone the 40gb hard drive to a 320gb. I was amazed at how quickly it worked. The process took about 20 minutes. Impressed.
@muskndusk True Image can make an image file of an entire disk. So you image you current disk (choosing the entire disk and being sure to select all partitions on the disk). That way even if your drive is divided into partitions and the OS sees it as multiple drives, when you put the new drive in your laptop and restore the image file all will be as it was on the old disk.
My laptop’s 40gb hard drive is failing and almost full. I’ve bought a new drive and enclosure and want to completely clone the current hard drive onto the new one, then insert the new one into the laptop. Can True Image do this? Why only copy the C drive? I want everything to be as it is at present, including the D plus drives. Thinking of spending hard-earned cash on this!
i use to install softwares daily so do i hv to do this process of backup everyday and spend hrs of time on it…
plz add a video on how to restore with Acronis.
can you use it to transfer a operating system onto a new harddrive in another computer
can u burn the image to a cd , and then boot from it and restore it without booting into windows?
Be sure to check your backup, make sure it will restore. I’ve had Acronis “restore” the file names, but the files were empty.
It could vary depending upon the version of Acronis you used but basically
Plug in external Drive
Boot computer with the Acronis CD
Follow Prompts to open Acronis
Click Recovery
Take your time. read Carefully
Follow the prompts
Basically you will be asked where the backup (tib files) are and where you want to recover them to.
The process is simple but if unsure ask a pro of computer geek friend for help.
If you don’t have orig CD. Install Acronis on another PC and create rescue media
I need help
say I that I did all the baking up to and external hard drive and then my internal hard drive mess up and I am forced to delete everything
how would I clone the original HD from the clone that I made?
thankyou..
i tried to clone my current drive then i put the new cloned drive into other pc with different chipset and processor. my problem is when i turn it on, the display turns blue and restart. what you think is the solution for this?
tnx! i will use it to my project in school. “Cloning with Different Specs”
it should
un less the format is different a hard drive is a hard drive they are all equaly transferable from one to another
only if it is the exact same mother board other wise the operating system will have conflicts
EX. (you had an intell processor now it is an AMD not going to work or have lots of problems)
Hi Budie
I’m not exactly sure what you mean when you ask about different specifications.
Could you give a little more info.
bro, is it possible to clone with different specification?. if it is, how? pleas help me. tnx!
You re-install Acronis then choose “Restore”, if I’m correct.
thankyou..Mick UK
I like Marcium Reflect better than the new Acronis…the new acronis is real twitchy…also you should copy your drivers and back them up to an external media because drivers do not ‘always’ go back in or back in as they should…driver magician is a good tool for this…good video though
will it clone my 32 bit windows vista O S ??
Yeah Ive tried cloning another harddrive on my pc but it didnt work Ill try it again because of the disk size was different on the backup and on my harddrive.
VMWARE !!!
hey can this methed still work if i make the clone image on my pc and i go out and buy a new motherbord and a new harddrive can i restor it from the new motherbord and new harddrive????????????????????????????????????
after making the backup. how do you reinstall the image onto the computer?
after you clone to a new hard drive
what do you have to do to make your computer function with it
I get the blue screen of death
In the set up under hard drive it still reads my old hard drive
there must be some significant step I need to do but I have no idea
