Moving a backup to another hard drive?

Thread needs solution

Hey all. I recently got a new external drive and was wondering if it's alright to just copy and paste my old backups to the new drive. Would this corrupt them in anyway? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you:)

Hello primal65,

Let me shed some light on your concern.

According to our database you're using Acronis True Image 11 Home. With this version there are no any precautions if you want to move your backups to any other location.

However, in Acronis True Image Home 2010 there is a database of the created backup archives and their location on the machine. When you start Acronis True Image Home 2010, it refers to this database to display the available backup archives. So in this case you need to use a different method to move the backups. You can find the detailed guide on how to do it at this KB article.

Please reply to this thread if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.
