removable disk as backup source

Thread needs solution

Hi
This question is not about the backup of any system disk (c:\), but my personal data disk.

I work similar to people carrying a USB-flash-drive: working at different desktop-PCs in different places of my city. I want to have my data always with me. I do not boot from this drive, but have all my data on it.
On each PC I am working are installed:
Acronis True Image Home 2011.
a backplane to insert my data disk

in case yesterday I worked on another PC I insert my SATA data disk before booting

Please have a look at enclosed sketches to understand my question.

Regards from sunny Munich, Germany

Friedrik,

You can continue your differential chains on each computer. Each backup chain on each computer is independent from the other.

Thanks Pat for the reply. That is great news for me.

Just another curios question for my technical comprehension:

Originally I assumed that Acronis would work in the background and log each change of the source-disk. That is wrong.
Correct is:
Acronis would rescan the complete source-disk each time before starting a differential backup.

Did I get it right?

Regards
Friedrik

Thanks Pat.

Again another question:

Would this scheme also work with incremental backup chain?

Yes it would.
