Backing up the laptop hard drive + a connected external hardrive to a second connected hard drive dedicated to backups only?
I have just had my new Acronis True Image 2016 product installed and used it once so far to backup.
My files are partially on the laptop's hard drive (C). But I also keep most of the files on a permanent external 2-Terabites hard drive (E).
I have also installed a second external hard drive (F) that is supposed to receive the backed up files from both (C) and (E).
When the backup job was completed, I noticed that Acronis did not recognize Drive (F) which was specifically attached to receive nothing but backups. It just dumped the backed up files from (C) and (E) on the external hard drive (E). i.e. the backed up files were added to the same hardrive that has the originals!
How can I get Acronis do backup both the main hard drive (C) as well as the external hard drive (E) on the second external hard drive (F)?
I can always call you if you wish.
Many thanks;

Good morning;
Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to provide various alternatives to resolve the issue I have raised. Together with my associate, we will decide on which way to go to ensure we do not lose anything.
If you wish, I could advise you eventually as to which choice we made and the results.
Most appreciated;

Hello GH-Storage;
Thanks for your patience. My associate seemed pretty confused as to what to do, so I asked him to abstain. Since I am afraid of doing something that would mess up my computer and its contents, I think I better contact Acronis directly with the hope that they have reasonable customer support service for first-time clients that can either walk me through the procedure, or do it remotely for me.
Your help has been truly appreciated.
