Operation Manual

A reserve copy always contains all the files selected for backup, that is, when creating a reserve copy the

program always makes a full backup of the source data. You cannot make a reserve copy in the form of an

incremental or differential backup even in tib format.

Also remember that you will pay for the enhanced convenience and increased security of your data

by the time required for performing the backup because normal backup and reserve copying are

performed one at a time and not simultaneously.

Please, be aware that built-in support of zip files in Windows does not cover operations with multivolume zip

archives, and with zip archives exceeding 4GB in size or which contain files of more than 4GB each. Also

remember that CD/DVDs are not supported as locations for reserve copies.

3.11.11 Removable media settings

When backing up to removable media, you can make this media bootable by writing additional

components to it. Thus, you will not need a separate bootable disk.

The following settings are available:

 Place Acronis True Image Home on media

Acronis True Image Home - includes support of USB, PC Card (formerly PCMCIA) and SCSI

interfaces along with the storage devices connected via them, and therefore is strongly

recommended.

 Place Acronis System Report on media

Acronis System Report - the component allows you to generate system report that is used for

collecting information about your system in case of any program problem. Report generation will

be available before you start Acronis True Image Home 2012 from the bootable media. The

generated system report can be saved to a USB flash drive.

 Place Acronis One-Click Restore on media

Acronis One-Click Restore is a minimal addition to your bootable media, allowing one-click data

recovery from an image backup stored on this media. This means that when booting from the

media and after clicking Recover, all data will be silently recovered to its original place. No

options or selections such as resizing partitions will be possible.

Acronis One-Click Restore can be added to the media only when creating a full backup of an entire hard disk. It

cannot be added when creating an incremental or differential backup, as well as backup of a partition. In such

case the Place Acronis One-Click Restore on media check box will not be present on the General tab of the

current backup options, even if the box is selected in the default Removable media settings.

 Ask for first media while creating backups on removable media

You can choose whether to display the Insert First Media prompt when backing up to removable

media. With the default setting, backing up to removable media may not be possible if the user is

away, because the program will wait for someone to press OK in the prompt box. Therefore, you

should disable the prompt when scheduling a backup to removable media. Then, if the

removable media is available (for example, CD-R/RW inserted) the backup can run unattended.

If you have other Acronis products installed on your computer, the bootable versions of these

programs' components will be offered as well.

Acronis True Image Home 2012 does not support creating bootable media if a flash drive is formatted in NTFS.
