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. There were better (easier) products in the past that just don't exists any more but had fewer options. It's still the best that's available today in my opinion after 20 years of doing backups. It's NOT a "two click" backup and restore as the description says, You have to set some parameters like a backup location and give it a name, chose if you want to do automatic backups, one time, full, incremental etc etc and THAT'S the part they keep changing so you have to find where they moved it to. I would say it's a trusted seller as well though I don't know what was cut off the box (bar code maybe)
It's possible I might have been able to keep using 2012 version on Windows 10 doing the backup in Windows 7 (dual boot) but I did not want to take a chance and the price was better than the latest version. I bought it only because I need it for Windows 10. They keep making meaningless changes to the User Interface that just make you relearn how to set it up and use it. I've used many versions of True Image Backup and never liked the interface but it's a good product (maybe the best). On checkout it showed the product was used but it was new but it had something cut off the box but the Product code was inside and it looked as though the factory seal was never tampered with.
