Cloning question and storage of clone
I have Acronis True Image 2016 Cloud.
Currently doing a backup to acronis cloud ....taking for ever and I have 5 puters to do.
However, just got a couple of 5TB desktop backup drives. Going to do the standard backup and I want to clone the disk for eventual drive replacement in the computer.
I'm reading about cloning and it almost looks like I have to do the clone and transfer all in one operation. In other words, I can't make a clone, save it, an use it at a latter date when I want to replace my drive.
The help files say the clone won't reboot from a usb drive and I have to have the new drive in place before starting the clone.
Is there any place I can find more info on cloning with Acronis 2016?
I have used the clone feature with earlier Acronis versions using usb drives and making the clone, storing it and using it when ready. Wonder why I can't do that now?
Very confusing.
So, can I clone a drive to a desktop usb drive and save it for latter use?
Can I then recover the clone to the new drive whenever I am ready.....that is in a future date?
Thanks
