Acronis True Image 2009 Updated

November 24, 2008, 14:14(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Acronis True Image 2009 Home 2008-11-24 Build #9646:
* Added a Network Device Access Storage connection wizard to the media – (NDAS is a hardware device interface that directly connects to Hard Disk Drives – making these disks accessible on the network, as though they were connected to a file server)
* Fixed backup to DVD from the media
* Fixed VSS (Vista Shadow Copy Service) data not being preserved after Vista restore
* Fixed backup sort order
* Fixed validation not working when backing up to DVD when done from media
* Fixed unnamed backups on the Acronis Secure Zone when done from media
* Fixed incorrect search results after incremental backup
* Fixed e-mail notification settings not being saved after editing a task
* Fixed timer incorrectly showing time remaining value after being minimized
* Fixed automatic consolidation being available for full backups
* Fixed T&D progress during the apply operation
* Backup Policies (Rotations) – (back by popular demand from Acronis True Image 11, Rotations makes it possible to customize archive chains and automatically consolidate or delete outdated slices! This set and forget feature expands on the functionality of its ATIH 11 predecessor by adding the ability to automatically consolidate slices.)
* Revamped Vista style Clone Disk Wizard – (now cloning your disk is even easier with the newly refurbished Clone Disk Wizard – all that’s needed is a couple of clicks!)
* Revamped Vista style Add Disk Wizard – (also revamped is the Add Disk Wizard. Adding a new disk has never been easier.)
* Support for 23 new applications for application settings backup (see Release Notes)
* Archive Ratings – (now you can rate your favorite archives on a five star scale!)

AutoRuns for Windows v9.35

October 17, 2008, 08:39(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys.
This Autoruns update adds additional autostart locations, including lsastart, s0initialization, savedumpstart, and servicecontrollerstart, and fixes serveral bugs.
