Hello Community,

I apologize in advance and admit I haven't used the search on this forum. My Google search with generic terms brought me here. Unfortunately I lack the jargon terms in order to find what I am looking for. I hope you can help. I am not an IT person at all but I tend to think I am able to apply common sense when not replied back under the assumption I know respective terminology. I have just made my mind up about what the problem is and what we are trying to have as desired outcome. I try to articulate this as precise as I can.

Problem statement:

We have a limited budget as a 5 weeks old new start firm. We have saved individual files, for now, with OneDrive and we have a WDMyCloud MP4100. So we haven't lost particular files that are important to the business. On two machines we suffered a loss of memory drive (HDD I belive these are SSD drives) which Windows sits on and thus can't boot the actual device anymore. I googled and based on that I checked the BIOS screen and there isn't any drive reporting availability. I got the task to find a solution that minimizes our cost and prevent things like that from happening in the future so we only need to buy a new memory device and be back up and running.

Of all people .. I got this task :)

Desired solution:

I would like to find a solution that allows me to initially do a, well now the jargon is missing, One-to-One copy of that memory drive to either our MyCloud drive or to OneDrive. When we are faced with a similar propblem I like to play that copy back to the original device with a new and empty memory drive and be up and running again and not having to worry about if the computer will boot again. Ideally it will just boot after the copy has been played back. Ideally I'd generate 1 of those copies from each computer as base version (just so I know I have functioning baseline) copy it to MyCloud. I would also like to create a secondary copy which (I read about the concept of incrementally adding to copies) keeps a costant up to date copy, let's say over night or during weekends. Ideally on of these annoying little things besides the taskbar clock takes care of that automation.

Questions:

  • In terms of jargon. What verbiage am I looking for for my Google search?
  • Does Acronis have the desired solution functionality in their portfolio?
    • If so, is there a guide or a video on Youtube about it?

I have to do this on my own as we haven't got any budget for outside help so any friendly "non RTFM" and non-"please use search funtion" replies are genuinely appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Welcome to these public User Forums.

Your signature suggests that you have True Image 2018, so if this is correct, you already have an application that is capable of creating backup images of your Windows boot drives (HDD or SSD type containing the Windows operating system & installed applications) and storing this on any available backup storage drives or destinations.

Unfortunately there has to be elements of directing you to read the information already provided with your ATI 2018 application in the form of the user guides, as this already has answers to how to do the operations that will be needed.

Depending on the number of computers that you have in your organisation, you will need an equal number of licenses for Acronis True Image if you wish to automate any backup operations to protect your data.  You require one license for each computer system.

Please do read the opening pages of the ATI 2018 User Guide in preparation for doing the tasks that you have described.  The 'Getting started' and 'Basic concepts' sections of the user guide will help you to become familiar with how the application works, the terminology used and how to take the first steps in protecting your computer system(s).

Note: ATI 2018 is no longer a current product and is not supported by Acronis, so you should consider upgrading to the latest product version.  This currently is ATI 2020 with the prospect of a new 2021 version being introduced sometime in early Autumn this year.  You may also wish to consider investing in a subscription license for ATI 2020 which would entitle you to free upgrades during the subscription period and access to support when needed.

Please see the following KB documents to help with your understanding here:

KB 60142: Acronis True Image 2018: how to back up entire computer

KB 60144: Acronis True Image 2018: how to back up files or disks

KB 60131: Acronis True Image 2018: how to restore your computer with WinPE-based or WinRE-based media

KB 61620: Acronis True Image 2019: how to restore files from a backup (Windows)

KB 60820: Acronis True Image 2018: how to create bootable media
