Migration Definition
I received an email today from Acronis offering to sell me an upgrade to my True Image program to "add a powerful extra feature". The "brand-new Plus Pack" will permit me to restore to different hardware. I thought this feature was already included in the 2013 True Image. Am I correct in believing that if my hard drive fails and I have a recent True Image backup I will be able to buy and install a new hard drive and restore the backup image to the new drive?
The primary purpose of backing up is to protect oneself from hard drive failure. I don’t think anyone would buy a backup program knowing that any backup would be useless in the event of a hard drive failure because replacing the hard drive would constitute “different hardware.”
If I did indeed buy a backup program that does not protect me from hard drive failure, I need to correct that error as soon as possible. I will try reading the advertising and the product documentation to find the answer, but I’m hoping one of you already knows.
Thanks.
