As bootable media is required to restore Mac OS X system (not just individual files) from Acronis 2016 Cloud, I assume a separate media instance is required for each MAC backup. That is, a single backup media cannot be used with multiple machines, thus requiring careful identification of media backup to MAC system. <br />

This is so?

Acronis 2016 Cloud bootable media

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
