Can I run multiple disk-level backup plans?
I am writing this forum while I wait to hear from Acronis licensing support. I am thinking of replacing my lone Acronis Cyber Protect Standard (starting back with an old Acronis Backup for PC 11.5) license on my big Windows workstation with an Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office 3-pack license. I already have True Image on other less important computers so the 3-pack license is a good deal for me.
My main concern is if I can run multiple disk-level scheduled backup plans with Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office as I currently have several backup plans for the several disks on the workstation in Acronis Cyber Protect Standard. For example:
Plan 1: backup disk 1 (C: drive) to D: daily incrementals on weekdays with monthly full
Plan 2: backup disk 3 (G: drive) to H: weekly incrementals on weekends with monthly full
Plan 3...: There are more disks...
The answer to this question is not obvious from the Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office User Guide. Thanks for your help.

Steve, like Enchantech I have separate backup task for various disks, and in some cases partitions. This allows me to tailor the frequency of the backup to the rate at which changes take place and the importance of the data. For example, I only run a backup of my data archive and my software achieve when files are added. I do a backup of the system M.2 drive each day for my 2 main PCs, and do separate files and folders backup on those that have less frequent full backup. This approach minimises the amount of storage needed.
