    Can Acronis be made portable

    Just updated to Acronis 19, have an extra license, is there any way to make it into a portable app, rather than installing it on a second PC?

    What are you trying to accomplish by doing this? Usually when a program is installed on a PC, it dumps files into AppData and ProgramData folders (hidden by default) and adds/modifies registry keys. You could take a snapshot of the registry before and after install and find what changed and replicate any application configuration files into a makeshift installer if you really need to. Still, that may or may not work, and may be more trouble than it's worth.

      Yes you can. I use the program Cameyo. You run it before installing the software you want to make portable then install it. It makes a nice executable package.

        Thank You and MR FP I am wanting to add to my kit, have had friends ask me to clone their HD and that usually entailed removing it to do so

          with acronis, you just make a boot disk and use that to clone whatever PC you want to. i think it's called rescue media creator or something like that.

            You can also use Macrium Reflect. It's easier to use, more reliable, and is a free download.

            I have Acronis. Even though I do like it, It's no where near as easy to use, or reliable as Macrium Reflect.
