Change cloned settings to cloud

Thread needs solution

I just purchased ATS 2018 with cloud options after being on the trial. I wanted one of my existing file backups that currently goes to an external drive to also go to the cloud storage I purchased.

It seems you can't update the settings to *also* copy to the cloud. So instead I cloned the settings and attempted to change the destination. But the only option was to have a destination that is a file / folder path not cloud.

How do I do this without re-creating the dozens of backup settings from scratch?

Thanks.

John, there is no option that I can see that will allow you to clone your settings for a local task and point this to the Acronis Cloud.

All that I can suggest is that you can use the option to 'Save as default' on the settings page of your current task which will then cause these to be the default for a new Cloud task, but you will still need to select your Source data for that new task, plus set any Schedule details.

I would suggest submitting Feedback or a Support Case on this requirement to see if Acronis could implement this in a new build or release version.
