By default all notifications are disabled.
Free disk space threshold
You may want to be notified when the free space on the backup storage becomes less than the
specified threshold value. If after starting a backup Acronis True Image 2016 finds out that the free
space in the selected backup location is already less than the specified value, the program will not
begin the actual backup process and will immediately inform you by displaying an appropriate
message. The message offers you three choices - to ignore it and proceed with the backup, to browse
for another location for the backup or to cancel the backup.
If the free space becomes less than the specified value while the backup is being run, the program
will display the same message and you will have to make the same decisions.
To set the free disk space threshold:
 Select the Show notification message on insufficient free disk space check box
 In the Size box, type or select a threshold value and select a unit of measure
Acronis True Image 2016 can monitor free space on the following storage devices:
 Local hard drives
 USB cards and drives
 Network shares (SMB/NFS)
The message will not be displayed if the Do not show messages and dialogs while processing (silent mode)
check box is selected in the Error handling settings.
This option cannot be enabled for FTP servers and CD/DVD drives.
