Windows and Mac

Thread needs solution

I am new to this forum and I apologize if this has already been asked, but I did not see this question answered in any previous post when I did a search.

I used Acronis to back up my PC for many years until I switched to a Mac and, since Acronis did not support the Mac, I switched to a Mac centric product to do those backups. However I now find myself with a Boot Camp partition running Windows 10 and my Mac backup software will not backup and restore a Boot Camp partition in such a manner that it can actually be used. Apparently it is only for backing up the data in the partition. I noticed that Acronis now has Mac support so I began to wonder if it might solve my problems. Here is what I need to be able to do:

1) Back up the Boot Camp partition in such a way that I could restore it and use the partition again, even if something I had done had corrupted the partition.

2) Be able to access the partition backup to retrieve files without doing a restore.

I do not need to be able to boot off of the backed up partition, only to restore it and have it functional. Will Acronis do this for me? Does the app run on the Mac side? Or on the Windows side? If on the Windows side, how could I restore the partition if I can not boot to Windows? With the PC there was always the Acronis boot disc but I don't know if that would work on a Mac with only a Boot Camp partition.

Any help would be appreciated. I tried to call Acronis Sales to find out, but apparently there is no such sales help number.

Thank you in advance.

Mike, I can only point you to the side margin of the forums where you will see FAQ (Mac) and Web-Help (Mac) links you can follow as this is primarily a forum for the ATIH Windows product.

There is a separate Acronis True Image for Mac forum where you may find other users who can help answer your questions, otherwise you may need to wait for MVP Bobbo to be online as he often answers questions about Mac in this forum.

Thank you for pointing that out. Being new to the forum I guess I just did not pay enough attention to the sidebar.
