Untangling the mysteries of 'Backup'
Nov 17^th, 2013 at 3:42pm

'Configure file backup process'.

'Process' ... ? What 'process'?

Utter gibberish.

'Expansion Drive (K:)' is my external drive, and is not part of the local C: Drive.

Why would they be asking me to tick the K: Drive to have it Backed Up to the ... K: Drive?

And why doesn't Local Disk (C:) not contain all my folders and files?

With the old Acronis you simply pressed one buuton and it would Backup your system files, OS, and all your files.

More utter gibberish.

Four different Backup options ~ with NO option to put them together for a one-off Backup session.

######################################

More garbage.

What does Backup Data now mean?

I'm going to try EASEUS which someone mentioned.

All my software is free and comes with my Operating system, so I don't have to bother with that. Sorry, I'm allergic to Microsoft

I'll definitely try them. Thanks.

I installed Acronis a couple of days ago and did a backup that took about 90 minutes.

But now I can't find my files in the Backup.

I'll try Easus first.
