creating a survival kit whilst running a backup at the same time

Thread needs solution

I'm new to Acronis TI and I just wondered, is it possible to run a "survival kit" at the same time that Acronis TI is backing up whole computer to a external HD?

David, welcome to these public User Forums.

The option to create an Acronis Survival Kit is only offered when you are making a Disk backup to a suitable external disk drive and this process runs prior to the backup starting, so strictly speaking, no you cannot do what you ask!

See KB 61639: Acronis True Image: how to create Acronis Survival Kit - for more information on the process.
Also KB 61738: Acronis True Image: Survival Kit disk partition for backups is limited to 2TB on BIOS-booted systems
