Crucial Acronis Mac



Locate Acronis True Image in your downloads folder, double-click the icon, and follow the steps in the installation wizard. After the installation completes, start Acronis True Image and enter your serial number/product key. For the record, this did it! This KB article @ Acronis Forum and the ZIP it includes finally rid my Mac OS X of the clunky trayagent hidden background services that seemed to still be launched upon logging into OS X even though everything App wise was correctly removed. Acronis's Essential tier is $49.99 per year for one device. That level gets you all of Acronis' local backup features and ransomware protection. To protect three or five devices, you need to pay.

I purchased a Crucial MX300 525gb SSD, installed it, started the install and ran into an issue with a Windows update file so I had to suspend the install. I fixed the Windows update issue and when I went back to install the TrueImage software I received a message indicated that an SX or MX series Crucial SSD is required. (The windows update problem was a failed installation of a file which brought my computer to a crawl and finally it would freeze.)

How do I fix this problem so I can install the Acronis software?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

I neglected to mention the SSD has been formatted and been assigned a drive letter. It is recognized, by name, in the device manager, disk manager and the bios app for the motherboard.

The software provided with your Crucial SSD is an OEM version of the Acronis True Image program and imposes various restrictions on its use.

Support for OEM versions of ATI are provided by the vendor providing it, i.e. Crucial in this instance.

Please see KB 2201: Support for OEM Versions of Acronis Products

I have not dealt with any issues where ATI hasn't recognised a specific model of Crucial SSD but would suggest checking what type of format you have used for the drive, i.e. that it is either using MBR or GPS with NTFS format, as being the most common format, and not formatted as exFAT or using any Linux format (EXT2/3/4).

Analyzing logs

  1. A backup log starts with the product and task info:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
    <log uuid='AB05C254-CAD6-4751-AF9A-2C3BD5A473E5' product='True Image' version='18.0' build='5539' task='375880D2-AE15-4F4E-A7E1-5611FF669B72'task_name='Test' >
  2. Then operations are listed:
    <event level='2' module='100' code='2' time='1412956537' message='Operation Test started manually.' />
    <event level='2' module='100' code='0' time='1412956537' message='Operation description: Stage Description.' />
    <event level='2' module='316' code='0' time='1412956538' message='Operation: backup“ />
