1. Introduction 1.1. What is Acronis® True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition? Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition is an integrated software suite that ensures security of all information on your netbook. It can back up the operating system, applications, settings and all of your data, while also securely destroying any confidential data you no longer need.
1.2. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition basic concepts This section provides general information about basic concepts which could be useful for understanding how the program works. Backup According to Wikipedia, "backup refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. Backups are useful primarily for two purposes. The first is to restore a state following a disaster (called disaster recovery).
Backup file format Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition saves backup data in the proprietary tib format using compression. This provides for reducing the storage space requirements, as well as for backward compatibility with the previous Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition version. While creating a tib file, the program calculates checksum values for data blocks and adds these values to the data being backed up. These checksum values allow verifying the backup data integrity.
1.3. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition advantages • Online backup – you can make your critically important data much more secure by storing it offsite. Because files are stored on a remote storage, they are protected even if your computer gets stolen or your house burns down. So the risk of data loss as a result of fire, theft, or other natural disasters is practically eliminated. And you can safely recover any corrupted, lost or deleted files on your computer.
Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition rescue media has the following hardware requirements: • 256 MB RAM • Processor 1 GHz or faster 1.4.2.
the source computer firewall settings to open Ports 20 and 21 for both TCP and UDP protocols and disable the Routing and Remote Access Windows service. *** Burned rewritable discs cannot be read in Linux without a kernel patch. 1.4.5.
1.5. Customer technical support Users of legally purchased and registered copies of Acronis True Image Home are entitled to free technical support. If you experience problems installing or using Acronis products that you can't solve yourself by using this guide, then please contact Acronis Technical Support. More information about contacting Acronis Technical Support is available at the following link: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/support/.
2. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition installation and startup 2.1. Installing Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition To install Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition: • Run the Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition setup file. • Before installation, you can check for a newer Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition build on the Acronis Web site. If available, the newer version will be offered for installation.
2.2. Extracting Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition When installing Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition, you can save the setup (.msi) file on a local or network drive. This will help when modifying or recovering the existing component installation. To save the setup file: • • Run the Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition setup file. • Select a location for the setup file and click Save. In the Install Menu, right-click on the program name and select Extract.
Please keep in mind that the backups created by the later program version may be incompatible with the previous program versions, so if you roll back Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition to an older version, you likely will have to re-create the archives using the older version. We strongly recommend that you create new bootable media after each Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition upgrade. 2.5.
3. General information and proprietary Acronis technologies 3.1. The difference between file archives and disk/partition images A backup archive is a file or a group of files (also called "backups" in this guide), that contains a copy of selected file/folder data or a copy of all information stored on selected disks/partitions. When you back up files and folders, only the data, along with the folder tree, is compressed and stored.
Generally, a differential backup will be recovered faster than an incremental one, as it does not have to process through a long chain of previous backups. A standalone full backup might be an optimal solution if you often roll back the system to its initial state or if you do not like to manage multiple files. If you are interested in saving only the last data state to be able to recover it in case of system failure, consider the differential backup.
MyBackup1.tib…MyBackupN.tib, where N is the number of volumes Subsequent incremental or differential backups to this full backup will get the names as follows – MyBackup2.tib, MyBackup3.tib, etc. (if the full backup is not split) or MyBackupN+1.tib, MyBackupN+2.tib, etc. For instance, if N=8, incremental or differential backups will get the names MyBackup9.tib, MyBackup10.tib, etc. 3) When you set a backup policy for automatic rotation of a full backup and several incremental or differential backups, e.g.
Be careful! Drive letters in standalone Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition might sometimes differ from the way Windows identifies drives. For example, the D: drive identified in the standalone Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition might correspond to the E: drive in Windows. 3.5. Viewing disk and partition information You can change the way data is represented in all schemes you see in various wizards.
Please, be aware that built-in support of zip files in Windows does not cover operations with multivolume zip archives, and zip archives exceeding 4GB in size or which contain files of more than 4GB each. The Zip format is available when backing up files and/or folders as well as when making reserve copies of your backups.
4. Preparing for disaster recovery 4.1. How to prepare for disaster as best as you can Let us remind you of Murphy's Law: "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong" (and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way). And some people say that Murphy was an incurable optimist. So be warned – your computer may crash and will eventually crash (and maybe just at the worst possible moment).
spare drive, please, at least validate the image in the recovery environment. A backup that can be read during validation in Windows, may not always be readable under Linux environment. When you use the Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition rescue media, the product creates disk drive letters that might differ from the way Windows identifies drives. For example, the D: drive identified in the standalone Acronis True Image Home might correspond to the E: drive in Windows.
2) If you purchased the program after downloading it, you absolutely must create a bootable rescue CD (or other rescue media, for example, a USB stick) following the recommendations given in the User's Guide or program's Help and then make sure this rescue media is bootable on your computer. You must configure your computer so as to enable booting from the rescue media and make your rescue media device (CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive or USB stick) the first boot device. See Arranging boot sequence in BIOS (p.
2. When the command line appears, type "vga=ask" (without quotes) and click OK. 3. Select Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition (Full version) in the boot menu to continue booting from the rescue media. To see the available video modes, press the Enter key when the appropriate message appears. 4. Choose a video mode you think best suitable for your monitor and type its number in the command line. For instance, typing 338 selects video mode 1600x1200x16 (see the below figure).
After you find the optimal video mode for your hardware, you can create a new bootable rescue media that will automatically select that video mode. To do this, start Acronis Media Builder, select the required media components, and type the mode number with the "0x" prefix (0x338 in our instance) in the command line at the "Bootable media startup parameters" step, then create the media as usual. 4.3.
5. Getting to know Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition 5.1. Program workspace Starting Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition takes you to the Welcome screen. This screen provides quick access to backup and recovery features, as well as highlights any issues with your system's protection. Your system is considered fully protected when it is backed up and a bootable rescue media is created.
Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition uses wizards, which guide you through many operations. Like the main program window, wizards also have the sidebar listing all the steps (both required and optional) needed for completing the operation. For example, see the Backup Wizard screen shot below. The completed steps are marked with green checkmarks. The green arrow shows the current step. After you complete all the required steps and come to the Finish step, the program displays the Summary screen.
By the way, later you will be able to refresh the system partition backup by double-clicking the shortcut again. If you choose to not use the One-Click Backup shortcut, Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will offer to perform One-Click Backup during the first start after installation, as well as schedule subsequent full backups – see the screen shot below.
Clicking Proceed will start the backup task. But before proceeding with the backup, the program will ask you under whose user credentials the subsequent scheduled backups will run. Clicking Cancel will cancel One-Click Backup. If you decide to use this feature later, select Tools & Utilities on the sidebar and then choose One-Click Backup in the right pane of the screen.
To go to one more screen of interest, click Recovery on the sidebar. The Data recovery and backup management screen gives detailed information on your backup archives and provides for quickly performing operations on these archives – Recover, Validate, Move, Remove, Consolidate, Update, Explore backup archives, as well as Mount, Convert image backups by right-clicking on an archive and choosing the required operation. This starts the appropriate wizard or performs the appropriate action.
Another useful screen shows the log of program operations and scheduled tasks. A calendar provides quick access to the logs (for past dates) or tasks (for future dates). You just click on a desired date. For more information see Viewing Tasks and Logs. We will not bore you with a description of other screens, because many of them are self-explanatory and some are described in the appropriate chapters of this guide. In addition, you can always open contextual help by clicking the corresponding button.
5.4. Options screen Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition has options related to its appearance and various program functions. To view or edit the default options, choose Tools & Utilities→ Options in the main program menu. The Backup options item provides for making settings to be used by default in any backup task. You can modify the settings depending on your backup needs. For detailed information on the backup options and possible settings see Fine-tuning your backups (p. 66).
The Feedback option allows you to quit the Acronis Customer Experience Program, if you decided to join it during Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition installation or join the program by selecting the Yes, I want to participate in the program radio button. If you want to know more about the Customer Experience Program, click the Learn more link.
6. Creating backup archives 6.1. Preparing for your first backup First of all you should decide where to store your backups. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition supports quite a lot of storage devices. For more information see Supported storage media. Since hard disk drives are now quite inexpensive, in most cases purchasing an external hard drive for storing your backups will be an optimal solution.
backing up large volumes of data (for details see The difference between file archives and disk/partition images (p. 17)). You might think it would take a while to make a copy of your entire hard disk, but the proprietary technologies used in Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition ensure that image creation is quite fast.
make a basic system partition backup containing your operating system and main applications like MS Office and Outlook. Thereafter you will always be able to recover that basic system state after trying new programs – if you don't like them or if something goes wrong. The easiest way of backing up the system partition is using the One-Click Backup either during the first start of Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition after installation or later.
Microsoft's Chkdsk utility, which is part of Windows. The utility can repair errors and locate bad sectors. You can back up the system disk both in Windows and in the recovery environment. Before starting a system disk backup in Windows it is advisable to close such applications as MS Outlook and DBMS programs.
5. Choose a target archive for the backup being configured – you can either add a new backup to an existing archive or create a new one. Choose the backup location and assign a name to the backup to be created. It is better to use meaningful names, e.g. Disk1_full.tib. 6. Carefully read the Summary of actions to be performed during backup and click Proceed if you are satisfied with the backup task settings, otherwise click Options on the Summary screen to change the settings. 7. Select a backup method.
5. The first optional step offers to schedule the backup task. Scheduling together with a backup method and automatic consolidation rules allows implementing a desired backup strategy. For more information see Examples of backup scheduling scenarios (p. 98). 6. Choose a backup method. For a more detailed explanation of the methods see Full, incremental and differential backups (p. 17). Let's reiterate that selection of the backup method may depend on the desired backup strategy. 7.
5. Select the Daily scheduling option. If you think that your work results will be safer being backed up more often, select Run the task every x hour(s) until the end of the day box and specify the interval in hours. Your files can be open when backups are running, though it might be advisable to close them when working with a database. 6. Choose a backup method. If you would like to save several versions of your project files, select the Incremental method.
4. Carefully read the Summary of actions to be performed during backup and click Proceed if you are satisfied with the backup task settings, otherwise click Options on the Summary screen to change the settings. 5. The first optional step offers to schedule the backup task. Scheduling together with a backup method and automatic consolidation rules allows implementing a desired backup strategy. For more information see Examples of backup scheduling scenarios (p. 98). 6. Choose a backup method.
7. Online backup The main reason for using Acronis Online Backup is that you will be able to keep your data secure by storing off-site. Because your files are stored elsewhere, they are protected even if your computer gets stolen or your house burns down. So the risk of data loss as a result of theft, fire, or other natural disasters is practically eliminated. Online backup is basically a method of off-site data storage whereby files and folders are regularly backed up on a remote storage.
theft, etc. Before proceeding with a backup, estimate how long it will take to back up your data. For instance, if your folders take up 10GB and your upload speed is 1000 Kbps (somewhat less than half a gigabyte per hour), it should take more than 20 hours to perform your first full backup. So depending on the speed of your Internet connection, you may want to back up just the most critical files. 7.3.
When the computer connects to the online storage, the Online storage screen with your storage space quota appears. If you have performed backup on this computer before, you will see how much Online storage space is occupied by the backed up files and folders. The screen also shows the space occupied by the data backed up from other computers (if any) and the remaining free space on the Online storage in accordance with your quota.
Having finished selecting files and folders for backing up to the Online storage and for excluding from backup click OK. If you do not unselect the Run the updated online backup task now check box that is selected by default, the online backup task will start immediately. Otherwise it will run according to the schedule you set. To schedule online backups, click the Edit schedule... link. For instance, you may want the backups to be performed at night in order to not interfere with your web surfing.
Acronis Time Explorer will be opened with the Online Storage tab selected. 2. This window also allows choosing the computer from which you backed up the files and folders you need to recover. Select the computer by its name on the directory tree under Online Storage in the left pane. 3. By default the state of the Online Storage after the latest backup is displayed, so the latest versions of the files and folders will be recovered.
of Time Explorer will show the times of backing up all its versions kept on the Online Storage. Choose a version by its backup time, then right-click on the file in the right pane and choose Open in the shortcut menu. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will recover the file version to a temporary folder and then will open the file using the associated application. 7.5.
3. Select the folder containing the files you want to manage in the left pane. The right pane lists the files in that folder. 4. If you want to delete some versions of a specific file, select the file and click View Versions on the toolbar. This opens the File Versions window. Select the version you want to delete and click Remove on the toolbar.
7.6.2. Storage connection speed One more option gives you the ability to "throttle" the bandwidth allocated for data transfer to the Online Storage. Set the connection speed that will allow you to send e-mail or surf the Web without annoying slowdowns while online backup is running. To do this, select the Limit transfer rate to: check box and set the connection speed (8 Mbps by default).
You can: • Delete versions that are older than the specified time period - 3 months by default. • Specify how many versions of your files must be kept on the Online Storage. This will allow you to return to a previous file version if your changes in a file turn out to be erroneous. By default Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will keep 10 versions of your files, though you can specify any other number. 7.6.4.
8. Additional backup features 8.1. Making reserve copies of your backups When you choose the My Data backup type for backing up selected files and folders, you can create reserve copies of your backups and save them on the file system, a network drive, or a USB flash drive. In addition to enhancing the archive security with replication, this feature allows you to copy a set of documents, for example, to a USB stick for working on them at home.
1. When you come to the Backup options step while configuring a My Data backup task in the Backup Wizard (or select that step after completing all the required steps), choose Backup reserve copy and then select the Create a reserve copy of my backups box (if it is not selected in the default backup options). 2. Choose how to duplicate the project file(s) on the USB stick. If you need to save space, choose duplicating as a zip file.
8.2. Archive to various places Now Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition offers much greater flexibility. You can save full, incremental and differential backups to different places including a network share, CD/DVD, USB stick, as well as any local internal or external hard drive. One more useful aspect of this feature is its ability to split backups "on-the-fly".
To complete the backup, you may either try to free some space on the disk and click Retry or select another storage device. To choose the latter option, click Browse in the information window. The Browse for Location window appears. The left pane shows the storage locations available on your computer. After you select a disk in the left pane, the program shows the free space on that disk in the right pane.
After a while you chose to upgrade to Windows Vista. To be on the safe side, you made an incremental backup before the upgrade and named it "DiskCBeforeUpgrading". Upon upgrading you made sure that the new system and all your applications operate normally and made one more incremental backup naming it "DiskCWindowsVista". After working under Windows Vista for some time you decided that you would like to try Linux as well.
burn the subsequent incremental backups (or differential backups that are an even better choice) to CDs or DVDs. It is also possible to save such backups to a network share. If you have saved backups belonging to the same backup "chain" to various places, Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition may prompt you for the locations of previous backups during data recovery, in the case when the selected backup archive does not contain the files you want to recover (or contains only a part of them). 8.3.
full sector-by-sector backup. For example, perhaps you deleted some files by mistake and want to make a disk image before trying to undelete them because sometimes un-deleting may create havoc in the file system. To make a sector-by-sector backup, select the Back up sector-by-sector (requires more storage space) box. Please note that this mode increases processing time and usually results in a larger image file because it copies both used and unused hard disk sectors.
• • • Tasks • • • News Folders Notes Signatures User Settings Address Book For Microsoft Outlook Express • Mail Folders • Address Book (select Windows Address Book). Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition provides backup of IMAP (Internet Messages Access Protocol) mail folders for Microsoft Outlook. This means that you can back up folders stored on a mail server. For Microsoft Outlook Express and Windows Mail only local e-mail folders backup is available.
If you want to change the location of added backup files, browse for a new backup location after clicking the Browse button, otherwise leave the location the same as that of the existing archive. The "farther" you store the archive from the original folders, the safer it will be in case of disaster. For example, saving the archive to another hard disk will protect your data if the primary disk is damaged.
8.3.3. Scheduling By default, the Do not schedule option is chosen so the task will run after completing the wizard and clicking Proceed. However, you may wish to schedule the task being configured by choosing one of the scheduling options. For more information see Scheduling tasks (p. 92). 8.3.4. Backup method Select whether you want to create a full, incremental or differential backup.
If you choose (2) or (3) by selecting the Create a new full backup after box, the next backups will be incremental (or differential) until the specified number of incremental (differential) backups is reached. After the selected number of incremental or differential backups is made, the next time a new full backup and a set of subsequent incremental (differential) backups will be created; this process will then continue until you decide to change it.
8.3.5. Selecting what to exclude This step will be present only for the Disk and Partition Backup and My Data backup types. It enables you to exclude unnecessary files from your backup in case you just want to exclude certain file types without creating custom categories. You can exclude hidden or system files and folders, as well as files matching the criteria you specify. You can add your own criteria by clicking Add.
8.3.6. Selecting the backup options Select the backup options (that is, backup file-splitting, compression level, password protection, etc.). The settings of the options will be applied only to the current backup task. Or, you can edit the default backup options and local storage settings if you want to save the current settings for future tasks. For more information see Fine-tuning your backups (p. 66). 8.3.7.
• a maximum archive size By default there are no limits set and automatic consolidation is not performed. To enable automatic consolidation, you must select at least one of the limits and either leave its default value or change it according to your needs. If limits are set, then after creating a backup the program checks the archive for quota violations, such as exceeding a pre-set maximum number of gigabytes set aside for backups and, if any limitation is exceeded, consolidates the oldest backups.
8.3.9. The backup process Clicking Proceed after completing all the optional steps you need for configuring the current backup task will start the task execution if you have configured the task to be started manually, by choosing the Do not schedule option at the Scheduling step, or having selected the Run task now box for a scheduled task (to select the box, you should return to the Finish step). Otherwise the task will run when the scheduled time comes.
8.4.1.2. Pre/post commands You can specify commands or batch files to be executed automatically before and/or after the backup procedure. For example, you may want to remove some temporary (.tmp) files from the disk before starting backup or configure a third-party antivirus product to be used each time for scanning the files to be backed up before the backup starts.
significantly slow down the backup process, though in the case being considered this will most likely not be an issue, because the files will not be too large. The encryption settings are available only for password-protected archives. If you try to recover data from a password-protected archive, or append an incremental/differential backup to such an archive, Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will ask for the password in a special window, allowing access only to those who know the password. 8.
8.4.1.7. • Removable media settings Ask for first media while creating backup archives on removable media The preset is enabled. 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.
Do not show messages and dialogs while processing (silent mode) The preset is disabled. You can enable this setting to ignore errors during backup operations. This feature was mainly designed for unattended backups when you cannot control the backup process. In this mode no notifications will be displayed if errors occur during backup. Instead you can view the detailed log of all operations after the task finishes. You may use this option when configuring a backup task to be run during the night. 8.4.2.
If the free space becomes less than the specified value while the backup task is being run, the program will display the same message and you will have to make the same decisions. However, if you choose to browse for another location, you will need to assign a name for the file that will contain the remaining data being backed up (or you may accept the default name assigned by the program).
To specify the location for storing reserve copies of your backups, click the Location link. Select a location – a local hard disk, USB stick, or a network share. You can create a folder for reserve copies by clicking the Create new folder icon. Reserve copies created as tib and zip files will be named automatically as follows: backupfilename_reserved_copy_mm-dd-yyyy hh-mm-ss AM.tib; or backupfilename_reserved_copy_mm-dd-yyyy hh-mm-ss PM.
To set a filter, select its type: Back up files of the following types only or Back up files of all types in the source except the following. Then click Add and select the desired file types in the window that appears. You can select file types as follows: 1. By name. Enter the file name in the upper Name field. You can use the common Windows wildcard characters. For example, My???.exe will select all .exe files with names consisting of five symbols and starting with "my". 2. By type.
9. Data recovery with Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition The ultimate purpose of data backup is recovery of the backed up data when the original is lost due to hardware failure, fire, theft or just erroneous deletion of some important files. There may be various reasons for recovering your system - from unstable operation after installing a new application, driver or Windows update to complete failure of the system hard drive or replacement of the old hard drive by a new larger one.
1. Arrange the boot sequence in BIOS so as to make your rescue media device (CD, DVD or USB stick) the first boot device. See Arranging boot sequence in BIOS (p. 146). 2. Boot from the rescue media and select Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition (Full version). 3. Select Recovery → Recovery Wizard in the main menu and then choose the image backup of your system partition (or entire system disk) that you want to use for recovery.
The information on partition sizes, drive capacities, their manufacturers, and model numbers can also help in correctly identifying the drives. One more recommendation - it is highly recommended to install the new hard drive to the same position in the computer and use the same cable and the same connector as for the original drive (though this is not always possible, e.g. the old drive may be an IDE and the new drive may be a SATA). In any case, install the new drive to where it will be used. 9.2.1.
If you have not assigned names to the disks and have any doubts when selecting the destination disk, you may abort the recovery by clicking Cancel and try to identify the target disk by its model number, interface, etc. To see this information, select Tools & Utilities → Add New Disk in the main menu and the Disk selection screen will show the information.
system disk and click Details on the toolbar. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will display information about the backed up disk, including a graphical view of all partitions the disk contains and their physical order on the disk. If any partition display is too small for accommodating the relevant information, hover the mouse pointer over the partition to see the information. Assuming that you have got the information, let's proceed with recovery of a system disk using the rescue media.
(Partition size, Free space before, Free space after). Click Accept when the partition has the required size and location and then click Next. Specify the settings for the second partition which in this case is your system partition. Click New location, then select unallocated space on the destination disk that will receive the partition. Click Accept, check the partition type (change, if necessary). You should remember that the system partition must be primary and marked as active.
partition to another location, select the new location and set the partition type you need (or leave the default setting). When the new location is an existing partition, usually you may leave its disk letter and size unchanged. When the new location is unallocated space e.g. after installing a new hard drive you intend to use for your data, specify the size of the new partition and assign a logical disk letter. 6. Carefully read the Summary.
local hard disk or a network share disk. See notes and recommendations for supporting FTP servers in Supported storage media. *** Please note that before recovering Microsoft Outlook mail messages, accounts, contacts, settings, etc. from My E-mail backup on a new computer with a newly installed Microsoft Outlook, you should launch Outlook at least once. If Microsoft Outlook is launched for the first time after recovering the E-mail information, it may malfunction.
9. The task progress will be shown in a special window. You can stop the procedure by clicking Cancel. Please keep in mind that the aborted procedure may still cause changes in the destination folder. 9.4.2. Recovering files and folders from image archives Image archives provide recovery of not only entire disks/partitions, but files/folders too. 1. Start the Recovery Wizard by selecting Recovery → Recovery Wizard in the main program menu. 2. Select the archive.

10. Additional recovery information 10.1. Recovery Wizard - detailed information The below description of the Recovery Wizard refers to recovering partitions/disks from image backups. If you need to recover files and folders, see Recovering files and folders (p. 80). 10.1.1. Starting the Recovery Wizard Start the Recovery Wizard by selecting Recovery → Recovery Wizard in the main program menu. 10.1.2. Archive selection 1. Select the archive.
When recovering a backup of Windows Vista system disk containing restore points, some of your restore points (or all of them) may be missing if you boot from the recovered system disk and open the System Restore tool. If the archive is password-protected, Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will ask for it. The partitions layout and the Next button will be unavailable until you enter the correct password. 2.
swapping while recovering a partition when a backup archive spans several CD/DVDs. Selecting this box when you need to resize a partition or disk greatly increases the amount of disc swapping, so we recommend to copy all CD/DVDs to a folder on a hard disk and recover from this folder. Use Acronis Universal Restore Using Universal Restore allows recovering an image of your system partition on a computer with dissimilar hardware.
1. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition creates scheduled tasks using the signature of the source hard disk. If you recover the same disk signature, you don't need to re-create or edit the tasks created previously. 2. Some installed applications use disk signature for licensing and other purposes. 3. If you use Windows Restore Points, they will be lost when the disk signature is not recovered. 4.
You will have to select between: • OK – all existing partitions will be deleted and all their data will be lost. • Cancel – no existing partition will be deleted, discontinuing the recovery operation. You will then have to cancel the operation or select another disk. Note that no real changes or data destruction will be performed at this time! For now, the program will just map out the procedure. All changes will be implemented only when you click Proceed in the wizard's Summary window. 10.1.6.
Using this feature, you can redistribute the disk space among partitions being recovered. In this case, you will have to recover the partition to be reduced first. These changes might be useful if you are going to copy your hard disk to a new high-capacity one by creating its image and recovering it to a new disk with larger partitions. 10.1.8. Assigning a letter to the recovered partition Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will assign an unused letter to a recovered partition.
same result you will get if the recovery is unsuccessful. To recover the "lost" partition, you will have to recover it from the image again. 10.2. Setting default recovery options To set the recovery options to be used by default during any data recovery, select Tools & Utilities → Options → Recovery options. You can always restore the default recovery options to the values preset during installation of Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition.
You can set default filters for the specific types of files you wish to preserve during archive recovery. For example, you may want hidden and system files and folders, newer files and folders, as well as files matching selected criteria not to be overwritten by the archive files. While specifying the criteria, you can use the common Windows wildcard characters. For example, to preserve all files with extension .exe, add *.exe. My???.exe will preserve all .
11. Scheduling tasks 11.1. Creating scheduled tasks You can schedule a new task in the Backup Wizard or Validate Wizard in the Scheduling step. It is also possible to create a scheduled task by clicking Create Backup Task or Create Validation Task on the toolbar of the Tasks and Log screen. If the backup archive you want to validate is password-protected , Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will ask for it. 1. Perform task running scheduling.
If the computer is off when the scheduled time comes, the task won't be performed, but you can force the missed task to run at the next system startup by selecting the If missed, run the task at startup box. If you schedule a task for performing backup to a USB flash drive, two more check boxes appear on the scheduling screen – If missed, run the task when device is attached and Run task only if the current device is attached.
• • User logon – the task will be executed each time the current user logs on to the OS User logoff – the task will be executed each time the current user logs off the OS. You can also specify the task Start date. If you want to run a task only at the first occurrence of the event on the current day, select the Once a day only box. 11.1.3. Setting up periodical execution If you choose the Periodically option, set the Start time and specify the interval between backups in hours and minutes.
11.1.4. Setting up daily execution If you choose daily execution, set the Start time and days on which you want to execute the task: • Every day • • Every weekday Every х days – once every several days (specify the interval). If you want the task to be repeated several times per day, select Run the task every x hour(s) until the end of the day box and specify the interval in hours. You can also specify the task Start date. Copyright © Acronis, Inc.
11.1.5. Setting up weekly execution If you choose weekly execution, set the Start time, specify the task execution periodicity in the Run the task every x week(s) on: box (every week, every two weeks, etc.) and select the days on which to execute the task. You can also specify the task Start date. 11.1.6. Setting up monthly execution If you select monthly execution, set the Start time and days on which to execute the task: • On the – on the specified day (e.g.
You can also specify the task Start date. 11.2. Importing scheduled tasks when upgrading When you upgrade from a previous Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition version and already have scheduled tasks, during the first start the upgraded Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will automatically find those tasks and add them to the list of tasks shown on the Tasks and Log screen on the Scheduled tasks tab. The tasks are executed according to their scripts.
11.3. Managing scheduled tasks To manage the scheduled tasks, click Tasks and Log on the sidebar and you will go to the Tasks management screen with the Scheduled tasks tab selected by default in the right pane. The tab displays all scheduled tasks along with their name, status, schedule, last run time, last result, and owner. By default you see only your own tasks, but you have the option to view or manage tasks of other users.
a) When you come to the "Scheduling" step while configuring a backup task, it is necessary to select the "Weekly" option, leave the default value "Run the task every 1 week", then select a day of the week for making backups, e.g. Saturday. b) At the "Backup method" step choose the "Full" method and unselect the "A new full backup overwrites the previous one" check box (selected by default).
With this in mind, let's consider a more complex backup strategy scenario requested by a real Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition user. You want to schedule backups as follows: on the first day a full backup, followed by 6 incremental (or differential) backups, than a new full backup. You want to keep 3 weeks worth of backups but not more.
12. Creating bootable media 12.1. Creating Linux-based rescue media You can run Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition from an emergency boot disk on a baremetal system or a crashed computer that cannot boot. You can even back up disks on a non-Windows computer, copying all its data into the backup archive by imaging the disk one sector at a time. To do so, you will need bootable media that has a copy of the standalone Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition version installed on it.
2. Select which components of the Acronis programs you want to place on the bootable media. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition offers the following components: Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition full version Includes support of USB, PC Card (formerly PCMCIA) and SCSI interfaces along with the storage devices connected via them, and therefore is strongly recommended.
When using 3.5" diskettes, you will only be able to write one component at a time (for example, the full version of Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition) on a set of diskettes. To write another component, start Bootable Media Builder again. 4. If you are creating a CD, DVD or any removable media, insert a blank disc so the program can determine its capacity. If you choose to create a bootable disc ISO image, specify the ISO file name and the folder in which to place it. 5.
13. Working with vhd files 13.1. Converting tib images into vhd virtual disks and vice versa Conversion operations are not supported in standalone versions of Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition that start when booting from the rescue media. 13.1.1. Converting to Windows backup Users of the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 can convert a tib image of the system partition into the vhd format if they want to use the converted vhd file for booting the operating system.
The converted file will be saved to the default location, but you can select another one by clicking Browse. The file can be directed to any local storage supported by Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition. In addition, it can be directed to an SMB share. 4. Click Proceed in the Summary window. When a tib image selected for conversion contains partitions, for example, from two physical hard disk drives, the program will create two vhd files corresponding to those physical drives. 13.1.2.
13.2. Recovery using vhd files created by Windows Backup If you used Windows Backup utility included into Windows Vista (except Home editions) and Windows 7 operating systems for backing up the system hard drive and later purchased Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition, you can recover your system hard drive from those Windows Backup utility backups (vhd files) using Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition. So, when you need to recover your system using a vhd backup file, proceed as follows: 1.
1. Open Acronis Boot Sequence Manager by selecting Tools & Utilities → Acronis Boot Sequence Manager in the main program menu. 2. Click Add on the toolbar of Acronis Boot Sequence Manager and browse for the required tib file, then click OK. 3. As actual booting is performed from VHD, the program needs to convert the selected tib file, so the appropriate dialog will appear. 4. Click OK if you want to save the converted file to the default location with the same name or browse for another location.
When you no longer need an entry in the list, you can remove it by clicking Remove on the toolbar. The Remove all button allows you to remove all entries related to virtual disks and restore the original booting configuration. 108 Copyright © Acronis, Inc.
14. Exploring archives and mounting images Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition offers two kinds of archive contents management: mounting for images and exploring for both images and file-level archives. Exploring images and file-level archives lets you view their contents and copy the selected files to a hard disk. To explore a backup archive, double-click on the corresponding tib file. You can also rightclick on the file and choose Explore in the shortcut menu.
2. Select the archive for mounting. If you selected an archive containing incremental images, you can select one of the successive incremental images (also called "slices") by its creation date/time. Thus, you can explore the data state at a certain moment. To mount an incremental image, you must have all previous images and the initial full image. If any of the successive images are missing, mounting is not possible.
3. Select a partition to mount as a virtual disk. (Note that you cannot mount an image of the entire disk except in the case when the disk consists of one partition). If the image contains several partitions, by default all of them will be selected for mounting with automatically assigned drive letters. If you would like to assign different drive letters to the partitions to be mounted, click Options. You can also select a letter to be assigned to the virtual disk from the Mount letter drop-down list.
It is strongly recommended that you list the forthcoming changes in the Comments section to this file. For you to be able to make comments, the optional Comments step appears in the wizard. 5. Having finished the settings, click Proceed to connect the selected partition images as virtual disks. 6. After the image is connected, the program will run Windows Explorer, showing its contents. Now you can work with files or folders as if they were located on a real disk. 14.2.
15. Searching backup archives and their content 15.1. Searching In addition to the ability to explore backup archives, Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition provides a search facility for tib and zip archives themselves, for files in tib archives only, as well as offering full-text search in the comments to archives.

19.4. Recovery issues System and/or data recovery after a disaster is the most important operation performed with Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition. Indeed what's the value of a backup program that cannot recover backed up data? If you have problems with recovery, try the following actions: 1) First of all make sure that you have the latest build of Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition. You can download it through your Acronis account.
Specifically when you recover Linux volume in a dual boot configuration, it is sometimes necessary to apply fixes or make booting changes so that Linux can boot and load correctly. Below is a summary of typical situations that require additional user actions when the recovered operating system becomes unbootable. The machine BIOS is configured to boot from another hard disk drive (HDD). Solution: Configure the BIOS to boot from the HDD where the operating system resides.
You do not receive E-mail notifications How to work around the situation when the set up E-mail notifications fail to be received can be found through the following link to an Acronis Support KB article: E-mail Notifications Fail in Acronis True Image - Create Acronis System Report and request Acronis Customer Central to provide you with an iso file of the rescue media that contains the required drivers.
20. Hard Disks and Boot Sequence 20.1. Arranging boot sequence in BIOS BIOS has a built-in setup utility for initial computer configuration. To enter it, you have to press a certain key combination (Del, F1, Ctrl+Alt+Esc, Ctrl+Esc, or some other, depending on your BIOS) during the POST (power-on self test) sequence that starts immediately after you turn your computer on. Usually the message with the required key combination is displayed during the startup test.
The guaranteed wiping of information from magnetic media (e.g. a hard disk drive) means it is impossible to recover data by even a qualified specialist with the help of all known tools and recovery methods. This problem can be explained in the following way: Data is stored on a hard disk as a binary sequence of 1 and 0 (ones and zeros), represented by differently magnetized parts of a disk. Generally speaking, a 1 written to a hard disk is read as 1 by its controller, and 0 is read as 0.

21. Startup Parameters Additional parameters that can be applied prior to booting Linux kernel. 21.1. Description Additional parameters that can be applied prior to booting Linux kernel Description The following parameters can be used to load Linux kernel in a special mode: • acpi=off Disables ACPI and may help with a particular hardware configuration. • noapic Disables APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) and may help with a particular hardware configuration.
Forces to use PCI BIOS, and not to access the hardware device directly. For instance, this parameter may be used if the machine has a non-standard PCI host bridge. • pci=nobios Disallows use of PCI BIOS; only direct hardware access methods are allowed. For instance, this parameter may be used if you experience crashes upon boot-up, probably caused by the BIOS. • pci=biosirq Uses PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt routing table.
