But since they are both from Acronis it is particularly upsetting.ĭoes anyone have any ideas on what I might try? It would be frustrating enough if these were 2 products from different manufacturers. Long-winded way of saying, I cannot seem to find any way for these 2 Acronis products to co-exist.

It didn't complain the very first time I installed DiscWizard, but since then I've downloaded newer versions of TIH 2010 and the Snap API drivers.

It sounds as if DiscWizard is complaining that TIH 2010 is newer than DiscWizard, and DiscWizard won't install because of it. Try to manually uninstall them before installing these older versions. "Cannot automatically install the following products since their newer versions are already installed. I tried (re-)installing DiscWizard, but got a very peculiar error message: I have no idea what happened, but I know I installed it prior to installing TIH, and I checked and I do indeed have a Q: backup. And, to my shock, so is the Seagate DiscWizard. Until this morning, when I discovered that I could not see Q. Then later, started the overnight backup.Īnd it worked! Solved. More reading and research led me to install the latest "Snap API drivers" (whatever they are), which I did. Next morning, the backup had not completed (this time there didn't seem to be any reason, it just seemed to have hung while trying to lock a partition). After many, many hours I discovered that if I removed both then installed DiscWizard first before installing TIH, it seemed to work. Sometime after that I realized that DiscWizard was apparently conflicting with TIH (and much to my surprise also learned that DiscWizard is an Acronis product, and somehow related to TIH). It ran for 4 hours, but failed on Q: (the second partition of the 3TB drive) ("Failed to set snapshot bitmap"). Next morning, the backup had failed (the first time that had ever happened to me with TIH).


Oh, well, so dug out the long code, activated it, and started the overnight backup. Even though I'd been using it for over a year (this is TIH 2010), it suddenly asked me to activate it (again). The first hint of a problem came when I tried to run True Image Home (TIH) for the first time after installing the HD. In order to do this I had to install Seagate's DiscWizard software. Because True Image Home doesn't support GPT partitions, I had no choice but to do it this way and use MBR. I bought a Seagate 3TB hard drive, and partitioned it into 2 segments: one 2TB (R:) and one 1TB (more or less) (Q:). I've been fighting with this unexpected problem for about a week now.
