Moving data drive to new computer and restoring relationship with existing online backup
Dear all,
My search for an answer wasn't successful so I'm submitting this as a new thread. Apologies if the answer is already available somewhere and if so, would one of you be so kind as to point me in the right direction ?
I have Acronis True Image (ATI) installed on a computer and backing up 1+ TB to Acronis cloud. I am seriously considering replacing that computer with new hardware. The only thing I would keep is the pair of drives containing my (source) data. These would simply be plugged back into the new PC.
My question has to do with re-establishing the link between my local, source data and my online, Acronis cloud backup from the new computer. I can think of a couple scenarios :
a. imaging the system drive - this should work transparently, right ?
b. reinstalling Windows (10) completely. But can I then tell ATI "this is the source data, there is the existing online backup, just check everything is there", or shall I have to backup the full 1+ TB again from the new PC ?
Many thanks,
Stéphane
