Acronis True Image 2018 Cloud Backup - directly to cloud?

Thread needs solution

Hi forum,

can Acronis Cloud Backup create and send a disc image backup directly to the cloud without needing local disk space for the image file?

David, when you create an ATI backup task with the Acronis Cloud as the destination, then all data is uploaded to the Cloud, and this may take an extended time to do so.

The only local data associated with such a backup will be the Microsoft VSS snapshot data used to save the current state of the data included in the Source selection, where this will be temporary data stored in either the System Volume Information (hidden/system folders) or in unused disk space available for such purposes.

It may be worth noting that the more the system is used during the backup operation, the larger the snapshot space requirements can become. Because initial cloud backups of disk images can take several days, it may be worth thinking about a relatively low usage period to begin your backup. For instance, if you mainly use your PC on the weekends, start the backup on Monday morning to minimize changes to the system during the operation.
