Alternate Backup Location

Thread needs solution

In TI 2018 is there a way to specify an alternate backup location to use if the normal backup location is not available at a scheduled backup time?  For example:

1.  If the normal backup location is a network drive and that drive is not available at the scheduled backup time, backup to a different location instead.

2.  If the normal backup location is an external drive and it is not connected at the scheduled backup time, backup to a different location instead.

Can this be done?

Thanks.

Peter, it would be a nice additional feature to have but it isn't one that is available at this time.

I would recommend submitting Feedback directly to Acronis on this suggestion using the tool in the GUI.

Based on the way that True Image keeps track of backup tasks and tib files, I believe this would be impossible, if the backups were incremental or differential.  If the backups were always full backups, then it might be possible.  However, couldn't the same thing be accomplished by creating 2 backup tasks?
