Backup (clone) to Image?
I've used an older verison of Acronis a lot. But this new one is a little confusing to me.
I want to backup (called Clone in the older one I think) a complete hard drive- and save to a file (image) on another drive. NOT replacing anyting on the other drive.
Perhaps a regular backup does that? But if so, it never really says that and I don't see anyplace to name the backup image file or anything.
Later, I will want to take that image file and clone (restore?) back to a new HD.
I did some searches, but it was pretty useless.

Yup - definitely backup.
User guide: Backup Options (http://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/ATI2017/#7940.html)
Some good videos showing features of Acronis as well as actual backup and restore (both in Windows and with rescue media):

thanks for the infor and tips.
The version I am used to is quite different and it seems some of the options are gone. But I succesfully did a backup of entire drive (Using Paralells on a Mac) and all seems good.
I'll read up on the tips.
Thanks
Mark
