Incremental File Backup and Image of Remote Server 2016

Thread needs solution

I am brand new to Acronis. I have purchased True Image 2019 to backup my five Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines. I hope to get incremental file backups of each machine, and also a disk image of each machine. Once I have this system up and running (I have bootup flash memory device for one machine and am making a backup of that first machine now), I hope to use Acronis on two other applications. OK, here is the question:

I have a server located at IBM Cloud running Server 2016. I only have access to it through Remote Desktop. Can I somehow use True Image 2019 (or another acronis product) to make a incremental file backup of this offsite server, and a image that I could restore to a new hard drive, or even a replacement machine with probably different motherboard/processor? I would like to put this data on a NAS I have here at my office.

This stuff just confuses the heck out of me, and the good people at IBM cloud just want me to spend about $350 per MONTH!!!

Thanks in advance!!

Hello Dale,

Can you tell us exactly what your intent here is?  Your post leads to more questions than answers.  I believe you have a total of 5 computers, a mix of both Windows 7 and 10, and that you want to make backups of these 5 computers following an incremental scheme for each computer.  This is possible with the True Image 2019 product however it is unclear where or what you intend to use to store these backup files?

I see that you mention an NAS, how does that fit into your backup plan? 

You mention IBM Cloud and Server 2016,  does this mean that IBM Cloud uses Windows Server 2016 and you Remote into that server for what, data storage?

As for using True Image to backup anything on this remote 2016 server to a local device, it may be possible but I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet.
