Backup with two external hard drives
Hi everybody,
I'm actually runing on Acronis True Image 2014 and have some problems with one backup task on two external hard drives.
Is Acronis Backup 11.5 able to run one backup task on two external devices ?
For example, backup task is running every day at 1:00 am. First complete backup, then incrementials backups.
Week 1, backup on "red" disk.
Week 2, backup on "blue" disk.
Week 3, backup on "red" disk.
Etc...
Thanks

Thanks for your help Justin & Anna !
Anna, i'm running backup on Acronis secure Zone on two external hard drives, so connect acronis management console to local machine is unavailable.
In case I use only external hard drives (without asz) i don't find how to connect acronis management console to local machine (i'm using french version) ... is it needful to backup on swapped drives ?

Hi Gérard,
as far as I see under your account, you are using a standalone version of Acronis Backup and in standalone editions console is always connected to the local machine. Centralized management (managing backups on multiple machines) is available only in advanced editions, thus, only in advanced editions you have connection options (manage this machine; manage a remote machine; connect to a management server).
Thank you.
