Can Acronis 2020 handle my backup strategy?
Here is my current backup strategy:
1. I have two external drives, with a capacity of two terabytes each. I have four computers on the network which I backup using Acronis TrueImage 2017.
2. The backups are scheduled to occur at 3 AM each Sunday. The Acronis backup task generally begins when I turn on each PC.
3. I have sufficient free space on each PC to store 2-3 backup images. I maintain the prior month's and prior quarter's backup image locally on each PC.
4. On Monday or Tuesday, I copy the Acronis backup images to separate partitions on the external drive. I also use Robocopy to backup data files for each computer to separate partitions on the external drive.
4. At the end of each month, I delete an old backup image so there is sufficient free space to create a new Acronis image.
5. Every other month, I rotate my external drive to off-site storage. I retrieve the older drive, and update the backup data files and Acronis images on that drive.
========================================================================
I purchased license upgrades for Acronis 2020 during 2020. It seems doubtful that I will ever be able to use the new version, due to the necessity of frequently deleting backup images. That is based on the responses to
my forum post
Is there any way that my backup strategy could be handled by Acronis TrueImage 2020?
