Questions about the use of this product.
Hello, I am looking purchasing this backup software, and not being technologically savvy, I have a few concerns and questions in regards to "Acronis True Image".
What I'm looking for is a program that would be able to copy all my files (and/or my OS) on to an external hard drive, then port over the data from the external hard drive to a new drive. Would it be possible to do this? (Not having an OS installation disc, but being able to move all info + OS on to the new hard drive, thus not needing to install a new OS). Under the "Features" tab on the specification of this software, it says "The Perfect Image", which I'm assuming it does as per above.
Will this product also allow me to port over everything BUT the OS, as I may plan to install a new OS on a new drive, but keep all of my installed program's configurations and such.
Also, just so I can visualize what I would have to do, let's say I use the "The Perfect Image" function of this program and it creates a back up copy on an external hard drive. So the drive (of which has been backed up) now fails, and cannot boot up anymore. I buy a new hard drive and want to restore my OS+all my old programs. How would I go about doing so? (I'm assuming if I install a new OS on the new drive, there would be a function on the program to port over the programs right?).
Also, if this thread is in the wrong area, I do apologize.
Thank you.
