That version does just what I want it to, and has much less "intrusiveness". They allowed me to "downgrade" to True Image 2014. UPDATE: I spoke to Acronis customer support. Unfortunately, Acronis has ruined what had been a reasonable product. It compresses and writes files to my Blue-Ray, and then it goes away. What I wanted was a simple backup system. And, they cannot be removed from the TaskBar. Moreover, there are some that show up in my TaskBar. I do not know what they are all doing, but they seem to be communicating over my WiFi. When running Task Manager, I found no less than 6 background processes running all the time for Acronis. The second concern is that this is an incredibly intrusive program. Then, to recover files, I would perform the process in reverse: copy from my Blue-Ray to their Cloud and restore from the Cloud. Or, I could backup to their Cloud service and then manually copy to my Blue-Ray. Their suggestion was to back up my hard drive to my hard drive and then manually copy to the Blue-Ray disk.
Moreover, when I contacted their rather mediocre technical support, they pretty much admitted it.
But, although this advertises it will work with external drives, the fact is that it does not. I like Blue-Ray backup because it doesn't take a lot of disks and I control the location of the backup. It no longer supports backups to DVDs, or in my case, Blue-Ray disks. Such as their Cloud service, which you can pay additional money for. However, Acronis has decided that the ONLY method for performing backups will be to use a Cloud service. I had hoped that this version would be as good. I have used Acronis backup before the last version was 2014, which worked great.
