flash drive as backup destination

Thread needs solution

TI 2016 performs successful backup to my USB external hard drive, but it will not backup to my USB flash drives (neither 2.0 nor 3.0 flash). My other backup applications will write to the 2.0 and 3.0 flash drives. I use Win-7 Professional 64bit SP1 on a new MicroExpress computer.

Hello, Joe!

True Image should work fine with flash drives.

Please provide a more detailed description of your issue.

What do you mean when you say it will not backup? Are you not able to create a backup task? Or you create the backup task and then it fails to run? What error message do you get? Can you post a screenshot of the error?

It would be even better if you generated a System Report in True Image and attached it here.

I updated Acronis 2016 and it now backs up to flash drive. I was not getting an error message -- when I clicked on "back up" (to flash) nothing happened -- like it could not find or was not reading the flash drive. Apparently the most recent update corrected this. Thanks for your time and effort.
