Acronis True Image has multiple compression options. Go into the options screen before burning.

Wind - Windows? Really?

So, your Documents folder is part of this image file? How large is your Documents folder?  If removing your Documents folder from the files being backed up to the disk image would alleviate this problem, why not just create a separate backup for your Documents folder?

You can disable system restore before doing the backup. That will get rid of your restore points which are undoubtedly taking a lot of space.

DVD size is 4.2G last time i checked....
That's why it got kicked.

However if Acronis is used properly it has a built in spanning tool for more than 1 blank media...

Media is plural...cut it out.

Exactly - you said "One blank media" "One" is singular.  ;D

Nope. The "1" is the key. It would still be "more than one blank medium" just as it would be "more than one item" or "more than 1 person", etc. Sorry - but nice try :)

DLoad ; install and try Macrium Reflect Home version...FREE.
I never had much luck with deepburner.

Other than that i'd buy Acronis...it'll be a good investment...Trust me.

why are you not just burning it from within acronis ? ?
Title: Re: creating COMPUTER IMAGE
Post by: Allan on November 12, 2009, 05:46:03 AM
Acronis True Image asks you where to save the image. At that point browse to your cd drive and save it there. Do NOT use any program other than Acronis True Image during the image creation and burning process.

Hi Alan, I didn't know that ACRONIS has option to BURN CD ??? I can see that Acronis did safe my IMAGE file but i didn't see option to BURN when it was done, I guess i should start all over
    Anyway, I am using DeepBurner for years and never had problem burning cd/dvd that is why didn't know what to do

   Do I have to burn IMAGe in ISo or what format?
Title: Re: creating COMPUTER IMAGE
Post by: Allan on November 12, 2009, 09:43:45 AM
There is no option to burn it. You have to point it to a location where you want it saved. If that location is a cd or dvd, it will automatically burn it as it is writing it.

 ;DO boy totaly confused now ???

   Maybe I am doing something wrong/ When i create IMAGE I did chose y D:drive/ACRONIS IMAGE folder and acronis did save the file there

   However, you said it burns automaticlli, do you mean that I have to keep DVD in the laptop while I am creating IMAGE??

   Because how can Acronis burn it automaticly if i don't have dvd in computer?Sorry but this is confuse to me

   See, after IMAGE was done, than I put DVD in and try to burn with NERo and DeepBurner,but burners SAYING IT ISN'T THEIR FILE???

I've been using True Image for many years and have always been delighted with it, as I'm sure you will be.
