No DVDR, USB ports not working, Can I backup with Acronis using an SD?

Thread needs solution

Hi,

My Optical disc drive and USB port stop working. my computer has an USB Card Reader only works the SD card, Can I create an Acronis image withou any problem using the SD Card?

If not why?

I google and find out the SD is only for camera and phone is this true?

I have important information (for me) to backup.

I do not have money at this moment to buy an external DVDR and If I have the money the USB port are not working.

it could take ages to upload all the information online.

I just call Dell and this computer is under warranty.

I do not want to install the OS and all the programs again, so the idea is when Dell repair my computer, recover the Acronis Image meanwhile I can continue working with my backups in other computer.

I have all Acronis True Image versions except latest

Thank in advance for any help you can provide me

Regards

I don't think so, but you won't know until you try. I tried on my computer and it didn't work, probably because the card reader's interface is not declaring itself the right way; when I put the SD card is an USB adapter, I can boot on it though...
