Nice video. Easy to follow. I looked for it after buying Acronis True Image 2018 and wanted a tutorial on all the settings. I see that it is not much different from the 2017. I'm wanting to back up a dual boot (Windows 10 and Ubuntu) system. One drive with various partitions. C and D for windows with their system recovery partitions and 2 partitions for Linux. It's a challenge for me. Any advice? Thumbs up by the way.

I am going to purchase the 2019 version soon. I am confused about reserve copy feature. What I want to do, is back up to 2 external hard drives. One hard drive will be regularly backed up and my 2nd hard drive is going to be kept at my daughter's house. The 2nd hard drive is not going to be backed up often. It is going to be backed up about 2 or 3 times a year. So, is that what the reserved copy mean, for the second hard drive? Please help me with tips on backing up to 2 hard drives. The reason why I want to back up to 2 is because of more security, in case my house burns down or gets blown away, I have another backup somewhere else, but that back up won't be as current, but better than nothing. Also, another question, I have Adobe Photoshop elements to organize my pictures, it has a feature to backup the catalog inside the program. Do I still need to do that, since this program will be backing up everything? Also, I have multiple external hard drives, 1 hard drive has over 700 GB of home videos and the other external hard drive has a lot of Microsoft word documents on it. Can I back them up too? I really want this program, I want to get into a habit of backing up. I am planning on not setting it to weekly or daily, I will manually backup, because there are several days in a row, that I don't even turn my desktop computer on. I also, just purchased an 8TB external hard drive for the backing up. I just wonder if is just an overkill of a hard drive, I wonder if I should of bought a smaller one. I still have to buy a second hard drive yet, to store at my daughter's house. I just hope I can grasp this and understand it. I hope to hear from you soon and by the way, you video was very useful
