Figuring out "serial number" and Acronis Online Backup
GOAL
I have signed up for Acronis Backup Online with the intention of backing up and creating an entire image of the O/S, all installed applications (Programs) and other files / folders [and keep them all online]. In other words, I don't want to backup just "My Documents"
Why? Because I have encountered "blue screen" (of death) multiple times in the recent past and this is not fun :-(
I have not bought any other desktop "imaging" solution from Acronis neither recently nor in the past.
After logging into my account, I am prompted to enter a "serial number".
I only see a "Cleverbridge Reference Number". So I just tried to invent a string with "-" characters included.
However, my attempt was not successful?
Can you help so that I can achieve my GOAL (described above)?
Thanks,
Ramu
