Thread needs solution

I have at this moment Acronis True Image 2015 with backup (initial and others 6 because i select a backup every month).
So to pass to new release 2016 i must unistall version 2015, install 2016 and for my old backup ??

Thank

You existing backup tasks will work under ATI 2016. Worst case is that you will have to reconfigure the backups (just click on the reconfigure tab, mover around the settings without changing anything, and the save the changes, and the backup tasks will work as intended). This is easy to do, but it really should not be necessary.

While ATI 2016 can install over ATI 2015 (it removes the old version), there have been instances where this has resulted in problems. (This same issue can arise when updating the installed build of ATI 2016). Before using ATI 2016 you should power down the computer and then power it up again.

Hope this helps

IanL-S is right. Despite this wise recommendation (one that I would have given you also) of uninstalling, rebooting and installing the new version, I managed to upgrade from 2014 and 2015 on 4 computers. Only 1 computer created some problems. Uninstalling, rebooting reinstalling 2016 fixed the issue.

Big thank...i follow your suggestions
