Backup to 2 locations

Thread needs solution

The sync piece of Acronis isn't adding any value given the problems I've encountered. What I'd like to fo is just backup to both my Passport drive as well as the cloud. The vliud is just redundant in the event all my stuff gets damaged. Can I set up a backup to do this?

Section 9.1 of the user guide describes the sync function. It appears from that material that you can only sync to another computer, you cannot sync to another location on the same computer.

9.2 What you can and cannot synchronize
You can synchronize data stored in two or more folders. Let's consider where these folders may be located and what data they may contain.
Storage types

A synchronization process may be established between:

* Two or more folders on two or more computers.

* One or more computers and Acronis Cloud. Acronis Cloud always contains the last versions of the synced files. At the same time you cannot select a folder on Acronis Cloud to participate in a sync, such folder is created automatically.

Within one sync process you may assign only one sync folder on every computer.

However you could use continuous backup to sync the same folders to an attached USB drive or NAS.
