I just bought a 3 pack of licenses for TIH 2011. (I have 2010 on one other computer)

I was a bit surprised that the install program did not give me a choice of where to install the software.

Even if it had I suppose I would have puzzled a bit about where to put it. My inclination would be to put it in the E:Backup drive. I have a C: drive that is an SSD and holds my OS and my programs. I have a separate always on internal HDD that is separated into a D:data and files and an E: Backup set of partitions.

My inclination would be to put the Acronis software in the E: partition. Does that make sense? I suspect the installation program put it in the C: drive. I will look for it.

But what would your recommendation be; and also; does it really make a difference?

Let's assume that SSD is somewhat less reliable than the HDD.

If we suppose that disk (ssd or hdd) fails instantly as a whole (just to simplify), then if you install it on SSD the setup will be more reliable than if you install it on both disks, so that it will fail if any of disks fails. And if your system disk fails, you will have to restore the backup from bootable CD anyway, regardless of where True Image was installed originally.

Good thought. Thank you.

I will have my manual backups on the E:backups partition of the HDD but will have my total backups on an F: external 1Tb drive so will need to reboot from the DVD recovery disk.

Acronis installed as you might expect in the C:prgrams/x86 folder.

I will leave it there.

Thanks again,

Perry
