Mail in Initial Backup?

Thread needs solution

I thought I read you could do a local backup onto a USB thumb drive or an SD chip and mail it in to have Acronis load the initial complete backup.

Is that true and how do I do that?

I understood it was included in the service price. Is that true?

Where can I go to find out about this?

It's called Initial Seeding. It's available only for Backup&Recovery Online , not for online backup client included with Trueimage Home. USB HDD is ok, SD card is not. Separate license is required (I spent about 5 minutes searching, but unlike annual subscription price, it hides really well)

Thanks, dev-anon. Too bad it isn't available for online backup. It is a good approach to getting started. I'll just finish slogging through 50 GB of uploads. (@#$%&*%!!)
