Acronis Disk Director Suite 9 .... what the hell

I spent hours yesterday trying to use Acronis Disk Director Suite 9 to copy 2 partitions (OS partition and a app partition). The application didn't complain, but after reboots the parition was not being copied. Yet Acronis Disk Director didn't complain anything at all, as if nothing was happened.

After being futrated for a few times, I found out a much better way to copy partition:
  • Back up the partition(s) using Acronis True Image 10
  • Restore the partition(s) using Acronis True Image 10
The best part is that I can do it LIVE while the system is still running. No reboot was required. A 40Gb parition took 8 to 10 minutes to backup, and slightly less time to restore. This is way better than wasting hours seeing reboot and reboot.
