How to Backup a PC With Acronis DVDs

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 gives you a way to back up your entire computer or specific hard drives to a DVD or another hard drive. When you use DVDs to back up your drives, Acronis automatically splits the hard disk image and burns the split images on a DVD. After you back up your computer, you can use the DVDs to restore files, folders or your entire computer. In addition, Acronis comes with a bootable disc that lets you recover your computer from your DVDs even if you cannot get into Windows.

Instructions

1. Open Acronis and click "Back up" on the management console's welcome screen.

2. Click "Change" next to "What to back up" under "Items to back up." choose the drives that you want to back up. Click "Change" next to "Where to back up" (under "Archive") and select your DVD burner's drive letter.

3. Click "OK" to begin backing up your files. Insert your first DVD when prompted. Acronis prompts you for each DVD as needed.
