| Question about doing a disk image to an external drive. |
|
Probably using Acronis, not sure.
Is it true that one can not use the computer while it is doing the back up? That would be inconvenient.

| 1. Only if you are doing a disk image to replace your drive with a larger one |
|
otherwise, back up at your leisure. I use Acronis and I like it a lot.

| 2. So if I do a disk image just to back up, I can go ahead and use it? |
|
I think that is what you are saying.
