Known issues and limitations of the version:

• Acronis True Image Home is unable to search:
  • Archives in ZIP and TIB format on removable media
  • Archives in ZIP format using GDS and WDS
• Archive to various places (AVP) does not work with FTP Server and ASZ.
• Acronis True Image Home doesn't support backing up in zip compressed format to CD/DVD.
• During writing backup to CD/DVD, the progress bar hangs. Please note that this limitation does not have any barring on successful completion of the backup.
• Acronis True Image Home does not support GUID Partition Table (GPT) and Dynamic Disks. A dynamic disk is a Microsoft feature that virtually turns a Hard Disk Drive into a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) device. Please note that work with regular RAID is supported.
• Unable to edit tasks created with ATIH 11 after upgrade to ATIH 2009 — also, the previously created schedule is lost. Tasks created before ATIH 11 are not ported to ATIH 2009.
• When updating from ATIH 11 with activated Acronis True Image Startup Recovery Manager (ASRM) to ATIH 2009, by default, the ASRM becomes available in trial mode — which means that the user cannot perform backups, only restore. The workaround is to re-activate ASRM from the ATIH 2009 console by going to Tools->Activate Startup Recovery Manager->Deactivate and then Tools->Activate Startup Recovery Manager->Activate
