Jo Anne, the Wilder pdf looks great, printed it off to read in slow time. Having bought Acronis I plan to give try and give it a good run before relegating it to the shelf.
Thanks for advice, I wonder if Acronis have built it into their wish list ....

The Acronis User Guide has 16 Chapter Headings which have sub-headings.
Perhaps surprisingly, Chapter 5 of TrueImage11_ug.en.pdf , entitled:

Chapter 5. Creating backup archives (with the following sub-headings)
5.1 What data to back up?
5.2 The backup procedure ***
5.3 Setting backup options

[has answers to your backup procedure questions.]

*** "5.2 The backup procedure
5.2.1 My Computer backup
Create a backup image of any set of your computer’s hard disks and partitions or back up the system state.
1. Invoke the Create Backup Wizard by selecting Operations -> Backup in the main program menu, and then select My Computer."

5.2.5 Selecting the backup destination
Select the destination location for the backup. If your choice is other than Acronis Secure Zone or a backup location, specify the archive name.
If you are going to create a new archive (i.e. perform a full backup), enter the new file name in the Folder line, or use the file name generator (a button to the right of the line)."

I quoted these parts of the Acronis User Guide to demonstrate that
reading the User Guide can be quite useful in learning how to solve
perplexing problems. Also if the information content of the Chapter
Headings seems too disorganized, one can do a search/find for keywords,
such as "backup" which will locate the word in the .pdf document, and this works a great deal like an average quality level index.

I wonder why Microsoft doesn't publish a User Guide full of pictures
like that Hatcher pdf? Surely they have enough money for documentation.
Software companies must not have heard a picture is worth a 1000 words.

You have to create a filename at the drive (on the blank line labeled File Name near the bottom of the Acronis screen) before you can proceed. For the best information on starting out with this program, download the pdf by Grover Hatcher, who is on the Acronis support forum:

It was a lifesaver for me. He includes screenprints, so you can see what to do.

Hi AJR and Jo-Ann,
I followed AJR's plot but got to CD-RW drive D a different way but like your 5 Jo-Ann. However the "next" was greyed out stopping me from getting the CD-RW drive from working. A check of this drive shows it is "working OK" . The Drive is NEC DVD+RW - ND3450A which came with the desktop Dell. I shall have to check with Dell or NEc to see what next to investigate.

At 5, I think it's the left panel. Brett, it looks just like the Windows Explorer window. Scroll down to My Computer, click on the + sign, and it should show you your drives.

Hope this helps!

Jo-Anne
