I bit into the bitter apple and got the plus pack of Acronis for my 2011 edition. It seemes I missed that the plus pack indeed was meant to add the ability for dynamic volumes and GDT drives. When I bought it early last year, it seems I had a non-dynamic drive then, so it worked back then. Why IU now have a dynamic one, and what the difference is, I cannot say. I don'T know.

To cut the story short: I successfully created two separate images on two separate external HDs.

Feels better now. Going back in case of emergency hopefully will be a breeze now.

I also created two images via the Windows software, which was lucky, because the Windows option is no longer avalaible once Acronis is installed.

I finally created on both HDs copies of the program file structure of all installed software on all three partitions. The idea is that if I mnaage to ruin some system file or somehow lose a file or mod-to death a file in let'S say a simulation's folder, i just can paste and copy it from the external HDs.

I have two HDs now, each offering me three different file backup and restore options. Feels also better.
