On the Acronis True IMage home forum, you will find other users complaining about the same issue. I cannot say this is a systematic issue, but the fact is that, in my case, couldn’t get to recover. As of today, I tried with different backup images and computers, to no avail. You can browse to the backup, but you can’t recover.

The recovery CD is the recommended solution for a full image recovery. Several times, I tried to recover an image stored directly on the NAS with the Acronis recovery CD through Ethernet connection. It backs up and validates very well on this NAS you can open TIB files in Windows explorer and mount images as if they were local files, but it cannot recover images. I definitely am going to make a clone onto a brand-new identical internal Western Digital hard drive.I am using Acronis True Image 2014. Is the bootable disk needed to load the image file onto a newly installed blank internal HD? Or can you use the original Acronus True Image DVD to boot and then transfer the image file on the external hard drive to a newly installed blank hard drive inside the machine? Obviously I won't have to If my cloned spare internal Western Digital HD works, but I am just curious? From my understanding there are 3 options of the clone, the bootable media disc, and an image file. I am confused as to the difference between making a bootable media disc, and making an image file onto the external hard drive. Now that the remaining question though is should I also use Acronis 2014 to create a "bootable media disc", and if I should also make an image file to store on the Seagate external hard drive. What I plan to do is use the dock to clone an identical image on this drive and then copy over it every few months as an update, does this sound like a feasible backup should my hard drive mechanically fail? Then I can simply swap out the drives since they are identical. Identical to the one that came with the machine from the factory. So I purchased a Acronos true image 2014 an external Seagate 1TB HD (for other stuff too photos for the wife etc), And an internal hard drive dock, as well as a brand-new 320 GB Western Digital 3.5" 7200 RPM hard drive.

I have learned about cloning software and have been researching it.

So rather than install a new hard drive should this happen, and then boot from the original six and a half-year-old disks. So I recently began researching and found that hardware parts are pretty cheap now for this, but if the hard drive fails I will lose everything.

Have everything set up the way that I like and I'm very comfortable with it, I don't adapt well to change LOL. This saddens me as I take great care of this machine and love it to death. So being that the thing is 7 1/2 years old and I have never had a prior desktop last over 5 years without a hard drive failure, I feel as if I am running on borrowed time. love this machine so darn much as it does everything that I personally wanted to has one I had made back in 2006. It has a dual core 3ghz pentium CPU, 2GB ram, a 320gb Western Digital hard drive that is less than half full,and an Nvidia GeForce 6800 graphics card. Hey guys, it is good to be back on here as my problems are always solved, it has probably been a few years since my last visit! Anyway I am still running my 2006 Dell XPS 400 machine with windows XP SP3 media Center edition.
