Hello hartprods,

The burner case was opened because the program attempted to access the backup destination. Did you click on "one-click backup"?

You can definitively send backups to external hard drive.

In order to change the destination of your backups please open Acronis True Image Home 2010, click on tab "Tasks and Log" and locate the backup task that you want to change. If you do not see it under Scheduled tasks, look at "Unscheduled tasks" section. Then right-click the backup job in question, select Edit option, click on Archive location, click Browse and select your external hard drive, click OK, click Next, then Proceed to save changes.

Detailed user guide for the software could be downloaded as a PDF file from http://www.acronis.com/en-us/download/docs/atih2010/userguide/

Regards,

Slava

you ROCK !
