User`s guide

If you frequently backup data to network drives, think of limiting the network usage used

by Acronis True Image Echo Server. To set the desired data transfer speed, drag the

slider or enter the bandwidth limit for transferring backup data in kilobytes per second.

This setting is also applied to FTP connection, if an FTP server is selected as backup

destination device.

5.3.7 Fast incremental/differential backup

The preset is Use fast incremental/differential backup.

Incremental/differential backup captures only changes in data occurred since the last

backup. To speed up the backup process, Acronis True Image Echo Server determines

whether the file has changed by file size and the date/time when the file was last saved.

Disabling this feature will make the program compare the entire file contents to that

stored in the archive.

This option relates only to disk/partition (image) backup.

5.3.8 Archive splitting

Sizeable backups can be split into several files that together make the original backup. A

backup file can be split for burning to removable media or saving on an FTP server (data

recovery directly from an FTP server requires the archive to be split into files no more

than 2GB in size).

The preset is Automatic. With this setting, Acronis True Image Echo Server will act as

follows.

When backing up to the hard disk:

If the selected disk has enough space and its file

system allows the estimated file size, the program will create a single archive file.

If the storage disk has enough space, but its file system does not allow the estimated file

size, Acronis True Image Echo Server will automatically split the backup into several files.

FAT16 and FAT32 file systems have a 4GB file size limit. At the same time, the existing

hard drive’s capacity may reach as much as 2TB. Therefore, an archive file might easily

exceed this limit, if you are going to back up the entire disk.
