trackrat Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 I have recently brought this program and wanted to put a backup image on my removable drive.I went to create image and it saved it on my C:/ drive.How do I get it to save an image on my removable drive, I have read the pdf files but unless I am having a senior moment I cannot see how to get the image to save onto the D drive.Can anyone give me some simple instructions on how to do this.Regards Alan.

bvw Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Make sure your external drive is powered up, then create image and select that drive as the destination.I'd delete the image on your C drive first.....or is it in the Secure Zone?

bvw Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Yes and the c drive was ticked.If I put a tick in the d drive will it back up to thereNo, you should proceed to the next screen where, for me, I get:F:\MyBackup.tib (F being my external drive)Image Archives (*.tib) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 They should be able to as Acronis will only save the images as a file that will Windows will recognise.Although making the image would be through Windows and not Linux.
