2018 automate multiple backups

Thread needs solution

Using Acronis true image 2018 on Windows 7 Pro, how can I make it do multiple backups automatically?

I have a PC backup, C: backup, D: backup, and an E: backup. I'd like to set this up so that I don't have to keep checking if one backup is complete before starting the next .. then the next .. etc.

Thanks

Hello Tork Beavis,

Sure! You can use scheduling and set up a schedule for each backup:

I could also recommend setting email notifications if you would not like to open the program every time to make sure the backups were made correctly:

Tork, in addition to the advice from Renata, if you schedule your backups then Acronis will only allow one backup to be active at any time, so any second or third backups will be queued behind the active one, then will be executed in turn.

I sometimes do this with manual backups as well, I start off the first, then click on backup now for the second and maybe a third backup, then go to bed knowing that they will run one after the other and all be complete when I get up the next morning.
