(Works even on Win7 64-bit, no UEFI, no GPT) I have been a longtime Acronis user, and I was always very happy with the older versions up to version 11 from 2007. The versions starting after this sported a new user interface and became more and more packed with features which had nothing to do with the core functions. And on top of this there were bugs which in some cases even caused complete data loss. The current version 2015 is a major redesign, a lot of features were scrapped in favor of ease of use.

Of course the company got a lot of flak for this, probably from the same people who previously complained that the software was bloated and cluttered their hard drives. Personally I do like this version 2015, I did not experience any problems so far. And the fast hot incrementals are a strong point for Acronis IMO, I never had a problem even with long chains up to 20 incrementals.

The alternative would be AOMEI where an incremental takes almost as long as a full backup. In these days where HDD space is extremely cheap this does not make any sense to me, I would rather do full backups all the time.Ĭlick to expand.LOL your are right, yes I only do full cold imaging/restore, using ATI boot USB. It’s possible to have installations of multiple versions of the same shared libraries on a Linux machine. The linker, during program compilation, looks for a soft link that links to a specific version of a library.

For instance, in the case of glibc, the libglib-2.0.so link under the /usr/lib directory will point to a particular version of glibc. The variables in the convention have different meanings: On Linux, the convention for naming shared libraries is lib.so. minor is the minor version of the API version, which indicates new features.major is the API version of the library - major upgrades possibly introduce backward incompatibility.name is the shared object (shared library) filename. So, in a way, we can have multiple versions of glibc on our machine and have a libglib-2.0.so link to a specific version. The linker will look for the soname field in the shared object and embed it in the resulting binary. The soname field specifies the filename for our target shared library. Therefore, during runtime, the dynamic linker will look for the shared library specified in the soname field.įor that reason, we’ll be able to use different glibc versions in our program. One caveat of this approach is that we can’t use multiple versions of the same library in our program at the same time.
