I'm trying to backup the entire volume of a Laptop to an external HD and I keep getting the same error.

-Windows Vista

-Acronis 2009 home

-Only one user on that machine

-No partitions

-Internet access via a wireless router

 

Thank you in advance to anyone that can help.

What is the error message?

What build of TI 2009 are you using?

Hello Joe,

Thank you for using [[http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ | Acronis True Image]]

The log file is incomplete. This happens if the program ends the operation in abnormal way.

Please do the following:

Please download Acronis driver update and run it, reboot the computer to complete the changes and see if the issue remains.

If the issue remains, please describe the exact moment of the backup termination. Also, please download Acronis Report utility available here and run it, create a report and attach to your post.

This would provide us with detailed information on the hard disk partition structure.

Thank you.
