Clone HD from file saved on cloud
I have previously used the Acronis 2015 to clone hard disks on my two disk PC.
I am considering the 2016 product because of the ability to backup to the cloud.
My question is; can the file saved on the cloud be used to clone a hard disk?

William, the simple answer is yes - but... you would need to download the cloud backup to a local drive in order to use it to restore the image to a new disk.
Just to clarify, Clone (in Acronis terms) is the direct copy of one disk drive contents to a second disk drive with no intermediate stage inbetween.
What you are proposing is Backup & Restore where you create a backup archive file in the Acronis Cloud and want to restore this at a later time to another disk drive, hence the need to download the archive file first (and validate that it downloaded with full integrity).
