Installation over TI 2014
The Acronis information says that you can just install TI 2015 over TI 2014 without any problems. They have said this for previous versions, but generally I have hand problems. So before I do this, I have a few questions.
1. Is it safe to install over 2014?
2. What happens to scheduled backups?
(In the past, I have had to set up new backups and the ones I have are no longer useful. Is this still the case?)
3. If installing over 2014 is OK, are there any particular precautions?
Thank you.

Charles,
The installation of upgrading overtop a prior version is not the same for all and not predictable.
Certainly one rule applies and that is to do a full and complete backup BEFORE you upgrade (by whatever means) so you have the capability of restoring your system backup to what it was prior to any changes.
Personally, I prefer to start fresh with a new installation and create all new tasks so my backups begin each with a new full backup.
When installation a new version (not a new build of the same version) , I prefer to uninstall first and run a clean installation. If I have troubles, I will go back and run the cleanup utility and do another fresh installation.
It is a matter of choice. Acronis says an uninstall is not necessary if the install is over a very recent version prior version.
