Hi everyone,

Acronis is not required to copy or backup your audiophile hard drive. It is a normal Windows file copy procedure.

All I did was:
1) create a folder on my destination hard drive.
2) Used Windows Explorer to view the directory of the Audiophile USB drive.
3) Highlighted the Root directory ("AudiophileUltraPak," I think.)
4) From the Windows Menu Click: Edit ... Copy to Folder ... Navigated to the destination drive and highlighted the folder I wanted UltraPak in ... Clicked "copy."

Took 5 hours to transfer all 500 Gigs onto my DAW's E:/ drive.

Programs will run right off the internal drive same as they would off the USB drive. You follow the same installation instructions as though you were using the USB drive.

(You could copy the files to a folder on your C:/ drive if you wanted. I didn't have enough space.)

I put my USB drive away as a backup and I'm planning to get another drive shortly to make another safety backup. (You can never be too careful.)

Hope this helps anyone wanting to backup their Audiophile version.
