Old Acronis backups

Will Acronis True Image WD Edition Software, work with backups made by Acronis seagate discwizard?

Hi there

I believe that Acronis uses the same Backup file type, but i think this will depend on the version of Acronis, lets see if another user can share some tips and information on this matter since i have not tried this.

YES.

Particulars: Toshiba satellite laptop. Windows 7x64. Used a Seagate usb external HD with, Seagate Disk Wizard 16.0.0.5840 (Acronis limited function addition) to create backups. Replaced internal HD with WD, used Seagate Disk Wizard to install OS. Uninstalled SDW. Installed WD Acronis True Image 16.0.0.5962 (Acronis limited function addition). True Image recognized and was able to use all the backups I’d saved on external hard drive.
