Acronis backup software does not support exFAT - Acronis Cyber Protect, Acronis True Image, etc

Acronis backup software cannot read files inside exFAT. It includes Acronis Cyber Protect, Acronis True Image.

Acronis software seems full of limitations and exFAT confirms it one more time.


exFAT 

exFAT is introduced in 2006. Even Windows XP has support for it.

After August 2019, Microsoft published its specification.

It is even more interesting what Acronis support says about it:

"The issue here is that exFAT requires extra software to work in a Linux environment (Fuse) which is not included in the standard Acronis linux based rescue media."


FUSE

In fact FUSE is open software. What FUSE wiki page says is that 

"FUSE was merged into the mainstream Linux kernel tree in kernel version 2.6.14.".

That kernel was released in October 2005.


Delay of 18 years

So Acronis is out-of-date with about 18 years.

People want to know is Acronis ATI, Acronis ACP just a software produced buy a school boy or something designed to be used in companies and in corporation?


Affected software

Acronis Cyber Protect, Acronis True Image and many other :)


Our recommendation

Do not use Acronis in any case. Never ever. For anything.

Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040255 - Error from CDBurnXP solved

CDBurnXP shows this message when disk is low quality.

Error text:

Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040255

Disk is not dead!

In my case Disk is not dead! 

Sometimes disk could be burned with CDBurnXP. Try few times. 

If it didn't help, try different speed - in my case higher speeds had higher probability rates.

If it didn't help, try to finalize disk.

 I hope its a solution for you too.
