| | Multiple Complete PC Backups I want to make multiple Complete PC Backups as I progress in setting up a machine. The Vista version of this only allows one copy as far as I can see. The same seems to be true for IBM's Rescue and Restore program. Would Acronis True Image 11 allow me to make multiple copies of my image spaced in time on an external hard drive? Other recommendations? TIA |

If you have adequate media space, multiple "Complete PC Backups" are definitely allowed. |

My intent is to indicate that multiple "Complete PC Backups" of one/same computer is allowed if space on media permits. I've not seen any caveats of this in MS documentation; additionally, I would like to know where OP came by his information that this may be an issue. |
