"I upgraded to Acronis True Image 2016 Build 5586 and now I'm back to slow backups. It gets extremely slow around the 2.0 TB mark. It doesn't say that ATI isn't responding or anything but the program just doesn't go fast. I wasn't even able to stop the backup with the "Stop" button and I had to force a shutdown of my Windows 10 computer. Any ideas on what can be done to fix this problem?" - Jay posted on Acronis forum.
"I opened Acronis and tried to run a backup manually. But when I click the Back Up button, nothing would happen. I recreated my backup scheme as a new backup and ran that. It runs, but my Windows 7 computer slows to a crawl and eventually (within minutes) nothing responds to my clicks in or out of Acronis. The hard drive light on the case lights up, and even after I've let it run for several hours, it never finishes. I have to reset the computer to get it back up and running again." - Ben posted on Tom's Hardware forum.
Any computer backup and hard drive cloning software including Acronis True Image had problems more or less. We can't list all the specific issues at a page, so it's better to introduce some common Acronis True Image troubleshooting workarounds. In fact, the following suggested methods can be applied to most Acronis True Image like software issues, such as working slow, being unable to create backups, complete backup tasks, clone hard drive or cloned SSD won't boot, backup restore won't work and so on.
1. Reset your computer and Windows
2. Reset your computer hard drives
3. Reset your Acronis True Image Software
4. Download and install the latest version of Acronis True Image
If the fixing methods above can hardly make your Acronis True Image work back to normal, it's time to contact the Acronis technical support staff. But I guess you may consider a better Acronis True Image alternative if you've been suffering from constant backup and cloning failure for long. There are quite a lot of disk imaging and cloning software available, among all we recommend EaseUS Todo Backup Free. It provides rich features as Acronis does, but tends to be more user-friendly. Most of all, doing backups of files, disks, partitions and system as well as cloning HDD or SSD is FREE.
