Introduction

Acronis True Image can create an image of the whole flash card only if it is formatted as a hard disk drive. (A hard disk drive has a partition table).

If you wish to back up data on your USB flash card, you will have to pick the My Data option when running Backup Wizard.

Solution

• Run the Acronis True Image Backup Wizard;
• Select My Data;
• Navigate to your USB flash card and check all the files or folders you want to back up.

(!) If you scheduled a backup task to back up files on USB flash drive  and USB flash drive is not connected at the time when the scheduled backup starts, backup task will fail.
