acronis, how portable?

is it possible :

Can acronis be loaded and run fom a USB device?
I am wondering if I can load Acronis 11 or maybe 2009 on a usb device to make incremental backups to another external HD?

The reason I ask is everytime I install either on both computers (at the same time)on my Network, the laptop is blocked from accessing the external hard drive on the network.

 

There's a whole topic devoted to doing just that.

 

gee thanks . i searched before posting and must be using the wrong search words. but i guess i will find it.

 

I guess so.

 

You can use the Acronis Media Builder program to create a USB flashdrive. You can also create a bootable USB hard drive manually. Instructions and troubleshooting can be found in the link in my signature. Alternate methods using Vista's Diskpart and Grub4DOS are on my website.

 

Thanks mudcrab.
