Can't back up system disk only

Thread needs solution

Just installed Acronis 2016 Unlimited. Wanted to back up my operating system, drive C, to Acronis Cloud and was not given the option. It will only back up my entire computer and wants 222 days to do so. Does anybody else find this absurd?

Don't waste your money!!!!!

Have you tried clicking on the icon for Entire PC, doing so should bring up a listing of physical drives and the partitions on it. In addition to the Windows partition (usually drive C) you should backup any system partitions on the hard disk. The system partitions can differ depending on it being either a GPT or MBR disk, and if the PC has UEFI or BIOS. If in doubt back up entire drive on which Partition C is located.
