Stop Acronis True Image from backing up other internal hard drives

Thread needs solution

Hello
I have Acronis True Image 2019. I made a backup which is about 375gb in size.
It is setup for incremental after that and when it does a backup it also backs up the 2 internal hard drives I have.
I do not want this to happen.

I want just the "C" drive as the original backup plus anything new on  the "C" drive.

How to have the incremental or Differential just backup new files on the "C" drive?

David, it sounds like you have used the default Source setting of 'Entire PC' for your backup task which will include all internal drives by default.  You should consider clicking through on the Source panel which will then show you more options, one of which is to backup Disks & Partitions, where if you click on this option, you can then select just your C: drive & its partitions.

Hello
Backup> Change source has check for the hard drive and System Reserved and Windows 7 "C" drive.
Nothing else checked.

But the incremental is backing up the others drives.

David, on the Source selection panel, click on the link near the bottom left of the panel for 'Full partition list' and check what you have selected there?

Please download the MVP Log Viewer tool (link in my signature) and use this to review the log for your backup task.  Post the log content or attach as a text file if you need us to review it for you.

Thanks but I have now switched to EaseUS. They do not hide anything. It was simple to setup.

 

 

David, thanks for the update / feedback, hope all goes well with your chosen solution.

How was this hidden, but thanks for a Monday morning chuckle! 

It was a bad user configuration that is completely selectable!

Good luck with EaseUS. You may need it if you need to transfer to new hardware down the road.  But as long as its working for your needs, that's all that matters.
