It looks like these are just cloud based backup services, yes? I don't see why the type of drive matters in that case. Admittedly I don't know about either of these products beyond a quick look at their sites to confirm Windows 8 support. I can't imagine any backup service being drive discriminatory though.I was asking because i am not sure about the drive. Is the drive an SSD ?
Well if its really an SSD then there should be not problem i guess.It looks like these are just cloud based backup services, yes? I don't see why the type of drive matters in that case.

I guess the best bet was the 128gb version. To be honest 64gb doesn't have much room.Yes, and difficult to remove...see the iFixit tear down.
Acronis is advertising Windows 8 support, but their recovery procedures are based on being able to enter the BIOS, turn off secure boot, and boot in legacy mode. You can turn off secure boot on the Surface pro, but I have found absolutely no way to enter the BIOS and change the boot parameters. In order to get any restore to work on a Surface Pro you would have to boot in UEFI mode and the Acronis recovery media does not support that; neither the Win PE based recovery disk nor the Linux based disk. So while I can currently back up my Surface Pro to an external USB drive, there is no way I can boot from that drive, or any drive/stick/cd/etc and perform a restore. Backup without restore.... not a solution.!!!It looks like these are just cloud based backup services, yes? I don't see why the type of drive matters in that case.
