Operation Manual

To eliminate this kind of problem, you can disable preserving file security settings in backups.

Then the recovered files/folders will always inherit the permissions from the folder to which they

are recovered (parent folder or disk, if recovered to the root).

Or, you can disable file security settings during recovery, even if they are available in the backup.

The result will be the same.

 In backups, store encrypted files in a decrypted state (the preset is disabled) - check the option

if there are encrypted files in the backup and you want them to be accessed by any user after

recovery. Otherwise, only the user who encrypted the files/folders will be able to read them.

Decryption may also be useful if you are going to recover encrypted files on another computer.

If you do not use the encryption feature available in Windows XP and later operating systems,

simply ignore this option. (Files/folders encryption is set in Properties -> General -> Advanced

Attributes -> Encrypt contents to secure data).

These options relate only to file/folder backups.

4.3.15 Computer shutdown

If you know that the backup process you are configuring may take a long time, you may select the

Shut down the computer after the backup is complete check box. In this case, you will not have to

wait until the operation completion. The program will perform the backup and turn off your

computer automatically.

This option is also useful when you schedule your backups. For example, you may want to perform

backups every weekday in the evening to save all your work. Schedule the backup and select the

check box. After that you may leave your computer when you finish your work knowing that the

critical data will be backed up and the computer will be turned off.

4.3.16 Acronis Cloud cleanup

This option is only available for online backup.

You can configure the cleanup settings for Acronis Cloud to optimize usage of its space.

To set the limits for the amount of versions on Acronis Cloud:

 Select the Delete versions that are older than check box and enter a value that limits the

maximum age of the older versions. All other versions will be automatically deleted except the

most recent versions.
