Steen, it is not possible to do what you ask in the way that you are asking, but it is possible to do it without the 'boot to DOS' part of your plan.

You can create three separate backup tasks for your Image1, Image2, Image3 actions and schedule these to be run one after the other, allowing time for each to complete - if the next task does reach its scheduled time before the current task has completed, then it will be 'queued' and run when able.  Acronis will only allow one task to be run at any one time.

ATIH 2017 does not need to boot into DOS to do this type of action, and in fact, has never booted to DOS for as long as I can remember.  When specific actions require a dedicated / standalone environment to be used, then ATIH either boots into a Linux OS environment or else you can create a Windows PE environment using the Acronis Rescue Media.

All normal backup operations can be performed within the running Windows OS by using the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) or the Acronis Snapshot equivalent to VSS which allows locked system files and data to be captured and saved to the backup image.

Only Cloning or Restores should normally be performed outside of Windows, where the recommendation is to always use the Acronis Rescue Media on CD/DVD or USB stick for these actions (and always make a full disk backup before attempting to clone a drive).

What would be the puropse of creating 3 images, one right after the other?  The would all essentially be the same if each full backup was run right after the other.

If you need 3 copies of the same backup let Acronis use a scheduled task to create the original backup.  Then, either manually copy/paste it to 2 other locations, use another synch software to do this automatically (robocopy is embedded in Windows and can do this too, but it's command line), or a .bat script or scheduled task to automatically copy your backup folder to the 2 other locations.  

If you want to make a .bat script using robocopy, it would go somethig like this

robocopy "Sourcedrive\backupfolder" "Destinationdrive1\backupfolder" /MIR /R:0 /W:0

robocopy "Sourcedrive\backupfolder" "Destinationdrive2\backupfolder" /MIR /R:0 /W:0

Of course, put the actual information for your source and destination drives...

Then copy the code into a .txt file and save as .bat. You can then run the .bat file anytime you want to replicate the exact contents of your original backup folder to the 2 other locations. To fully automate the process, you could add the .bat file as post backup job to your your backup task so that it would make these copies after each backup is taken with acronis.
