Looks like a part of Acronis - a backup system? What you need that for?
Well, after my final switch to Linux as my primary OS, now I am trying to reproduce the workflow that I was confortable with, while using Windows. So I gave a try to my previous software for hard drive imaging and backup; perhaps I was misled by a comment in the True Image AppDB entry (it states that: "Using the last wine and the trial version from the acronis website I successfully installed and ran Acronis True Home on Ubuntu 7.1").
It won't work on Wine.
That's a easy guess: after all, that software installs at least a windows service and needs at least a device driver to work (to copy a "live" filesystem without the need of a reboot, I suppose). However, the missing function is a fairly general one: it deals with a general low-level synchronisation object, which could be useful also for other apps. So I opened the bug to notify that.
On the other hand, if you think that the bug is not useful and therefore must be closed, that's fine.
