How is that storage space accessed from the Windows machine.

I doubt very much this is the fault of Acronis True Image. Its more
likely some issue with whatever remove access you are using conflicting
in some way with how Windows does files.

We have the same issue with ZFS over any kind of SAN: the performance is
horrible. Its not because ZFS or the SAN suck, its just they conflict
with each other.
