Where can I find the Survival kit option?

Thread needs solution

How can I make an Acronis Survival Kit with ATI2019. If I follow the steps in the manual I can not choose anywhere to make an Acronis Survival Kit. The option (1. Click Back up now or Create the Acronis Survival Kit 2. In the opened window, click Create) is nowhere to be seen. What is this about?
A regular backup works but a survival kit ?? Option nowhere to be found.
What do I overlook or do I do something wrong?

A regular backup works as it should but I also want to make a separate, complete backup from my laptop.

The option to create a Survival Kit is only shown when you select the Destination for your backup task and select a removable drive that is capable of being used in this way.

The above was shown when selecting my USB external Toshiba HDD drive for the destination.

Thanks for the quick response.

I had just found the solution. Because I always read the manual first before I started experimenting, I had not noticed this yet. Another reason was that I had tried this via my desktop that does not use external storage (it has a separate, internal disk for backups)and it is not always connected. If this had would be mentioned in the manual I had not had to search in the manual, it was just a coincidence that I had found it. Also, if I had not found it, I would not have bought a new ATI2019 anymore. Al is working fine now.

Thanks again for the very quick response.

Hello Angel,

thank you for sharing your experience with this new feature, we've passed this topic to the product management. 

Just to let you know I used the survival kit option to make a system backup (no problems) and restore a complete system image (on external HDD) after upgrading my laptop with a bigger SSD en HDD.

No problems at all.

I really think it would be usefull for other users to make a more clear description of how to use Survival Kit (with an image like I got from the community). I really had found this usefull.

Thanks to Steve Smith for his clear and usefull answer.
