First, there are not just "sirs" on here. And if you'd like help, how about actually telling us WHAT error?? Saying "it give me error does not work", doesn't give us much to go on.

Acronis appears to be commercial software..and you're using RedHat Enterprise. You're paying for support from both...did you try to call either of them?
