Oggetto: Re: Acronis tech support?


Some of you may remember my struggle to get support from Acronis for a program 
bug I found the beginning of November. I finally got a response from them that 
I thought I should share:

We apologize for the delay in response.
As you have mentioned, that you were taking the back up of your system directly 
on DVDs, but it was not able to burn the last DVD.
We would recommend you take the back up of your computer on your hard drive and 
split that back up and then burn that back up on the DVDs.
Please make sure that the compression level of the back up is none.
This would resolve your issue. However, if the issue still persists, please 
feel free to contact us.

So, they're saying "you can't back up to DVDs, even though we claim you can. 
Back up to your hard drive or a second one, then copy the files to DVDs." This 
has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard from any tech support. I 
ended up buying Paragon Drive Backup. Their user interface could be better, but 
the program does everything I want it to and does it well. And I've seen in the 
past that they actually provide tech support.
 
I know Acronis used to be generally regarded as the best, but I'm afraid those 
days are long gone.

Subject: Acronis tech support?

A month ago, based on recommendations here, I downloaded the Acronis 
evaluation. I quickly found an apparent program bug when backing up to DVDs. 
The system created files named MyBackup1.tib, MyBackup2.tib, etc. but after 
creating them it tried to open MyBackup.tib. I used the chat to report the 
problem, and also opened a ticket. A week ago, having heard nothing, I opened 
another ticket. Still no response. In the meantime I bought an external hard 
drive to use for backups, but of course the 15-day evaluation period was over 
by then.
 
How long does it usually take them to respond? I have to say I'm not impressed.
 
 
Steve
