hard drive erased!!!!!
I decided to make a mobile back up and put it on a hard drive that had files, but also it had lots of space. Acronis said back up was done, so I shut down my computer. I turned it on today and ALL of the files from that hard drive where I put the mobile back up are GONE !!!
Recovery says there is no back up!!!!!!!!

My question was answered. I tried to do the servival kit to some extra space on an internal drive. I let it run through the night. Next day, Acronis said something went wrong with back up, so I shut every thing down and rebooted. When it all came up, all on that one drive I attempted to but mobile backup to was gone. ...I wish there would have been some sort of warning..... :(

Paul, a Survival Kit should not be created on an internal drive. The whole point is to have an external and bootable USB drive which also contains your backup. The survival kit creation will create the bootable partition.
I don't know what Acronis does when asking to create a kit on an internal drive, but there should have at least been some warning that all the data would be lost. What kind of backup task were you creating? I don't have an answer as to why the survival kit option was even presented. Or was it?
