Trial Version for True Image 2021 Question: backing up select hard drives

Thread needs solution

Maybe I'm missing something but just did my first backup for my PC and didn't see where it asks me which drives I want to backup/not backup. e.g. I have 2 drives: "C:" and "D:" and only want to backup "C:".

Regards,

Patrick

It is not immediately obvious. To select the appropriate backup type Bourke click on the source icon - it is whole PC and this will bring up the option; you will need to select disks and poartitions

Thanks, but how do you change it after you've done a backup (say i want to add "D:" and didn't with the initial backup 

Use the same method, click on the Source panel, then on Disks & Partitions, then select any additional items to include (or remove) from the backup selection.

Source panel? Where is that?

Patrick, the Source panel is the big square that says XEON under a picture of the monitor (left middle of right pane) . This  image is used for an Entire PC backup.

 understood, but when I click on it I dont have an option to change the backup (to select/deselect drives).  Above, Steve Smith said "Use the same method, click on the Source panel, then on Disks & Partitions"

so....there's some sort of weird behavior with the trial version that wasn't allowing me to change the source configuration.  Clicking on the source would not open or show "change source"

I actually had to uninstall the trial and then trial and reinstall for it to work.
