Newbie needs advice!

Thread solved

Hi!

 

I've recently downloaded the trial version for assessment.

Firstly, I've noticed that this application is using nearly 2gb of storage in various folders; is this correct?

Also, on the external drive I'm using for the daily backup, there's 2 items, the backup itself & a 12kb entry dated 3 days ago.

I've not done a trial restore yet but when I do, will I need to choose both these entries?

Thanks in anticipation of a response.

Alun, welcome to these public User Forums.

It is entirely possible that the application is using nearly 2GB of disk storage given that it now includes antivirus / security definitions etc.

The 12KB file on your storage drive is an essential part of how Acronis works and contains important metadata for the backup chain of files - this file must be present if it has been created else the backup can be reported as being corrupt.

When doing any restore / recovery, you can choose any of the available files and Acronis will deal with the sequence needed.
