Archive without Deletion

Thread needs solution

Is it possible to archive a large C directory folder without deleting the original from my laptop?  I don't see an option to remove the delete.

Jon, welcome to these public User Forums.

Sorry but the purpose of the Archive option / feature is to move the selected files / folders off the source disk drive to the archive location (local or Acronis Cloud) which in turn implies that the data is always deleted after the archive operation is completed.

Jon, if what you want to do is make a backup of your large C directory folder, then Acronis can do this as it is one of its core functions.

You can backup any Files & Folders to local, network or Acronis Cloud locations, or you can backup whole Disks & Partitions to the same destinations as needed.

Archiving is intended to help with data management and disk space issues, hence it is used to move data away from the system to free space.

I would recommend reading through the first few sections of the Acronis True Image 2021 User Guide  which will give you a good introduction to how to use the application and the key features that it offers.
