![]() ![]() ![]() I have played this game on a number of occasions when dealing with dying drives - where it has typically taken 12 hour plus to make a backup and a similar time to restore that backup to a new replacement disk. KB 59877: Acronis True Image: how to distinguish between UEFI and Legacy BIOS boot modes of Acronis Bootable Mediaĭavid, this is fairly normal for any scenarios involving a disk with bad sectors and the viability of the backup image will really depend on where those bad sectors are and what data is / was stored in them! The rescue media needs to be booted using the same BIOS boot mode used by Windows 10 so confirm that you know what that is while Windows is working! You can run the msinfo32 command in Windows which shows the BIOS mode in the right panel info. If you haven't already created the Acronis bootable rescue media for this PC, then I would strongly recommend you do so - you will need this to recover the backup image to a new / replacement disk drive. Note: you can go into the Advanced Options for the task and tell it to ignore bad sectors if needed. The task will run in Windows using the Microsoft VSS snapshot service to capture OS data - you can continue using the PC, and if ATI hits any bad sectors etc, it will post a message to tell you. If you are needing to continue using this damaged disk, then continue as you are doing with copying as much user data from the drive to a good backup storage location / another drive, then setup a Disks & Partitions backup in the Windows ATI GUI and set this off to run. David, I personally would not advise using clone for this failing disk scenario! I say this for several reasons, the first of which is that clone will want to restart the computer into a stand-alone Acronis environment based on Linux (DOS like per your comments earlier) - this means it will be in this dedicated environment for as long as the process takes! ![]()
