I use Acronis True Image 2017 to create weekly whole disk images of several systems running Windows 10 21H1. The images are made on external USB HDDs. If I buy a newer version of Acronis True Image, will it be able to restore using any of the many backups I have made using my current version?
(I’ve not posted a question on Ask Woody before. I may not be posting it in the right place.)
I am using Acronis 2019 and won’t ever upgrade to 2020, 2021, 2022.. unless Acronis remove the new anti-malware build into version 2021 and restore file type from .tibx to .tib.
any of the many backups I have made using my current version?
Why would you want to restore weeks old whole disk image ?
I create a new full image every 2 weeks (1, 16 on the month) and daily incremental backups in between.
I delete the previous month old full image as I have no use for it.
Yes. New version will restore .tib image backups.
Why would you want to restore weeks old whole disk image ?
I have done so many times. Sometimes for testing and once years ago because a program we use did a couple updates that caused issues for us. Unfortunately we didn’t notice the issue for about 6mos because we didn’t often use that feature. Was nice to be able to go back and verify, then rebuild the data needed.
Not sure if it allows for restore of individual files or folders.
You don’t need the Bootable Rescue Media to restore files. Just click on the image file and copy any directory, file.. you want.
Hello, I still use the Acronis True image 2017 today.
I still have the origina DLC bootable flash drive.
if the 2017 product works for you, I think there is no need to upgrade. Your question was:
If I buy a newer version of Acronis True Image, will it be able to restore using any of the many backups I have made using my current version?
The answer is YES

Not intending to hijack the thread, but Macrium Reflect is worth taking a look at. 🙂
Over the past 20 years I have used PowerQuest Drive Image, Norton Ghost, Acronis, Microsoft Windows 7 Image, CloneZilla, and Macrium. I am liking Macrium the best so far!
