User's Manual

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. Local storage settings

These settings also affect the backup process, for example, they may have a more or less noticeable

effect on the backup process speed. Their values also depend on the physical characteristics of the

local storage devices.

8.4.2.1. HDD writing speed

The preset is Maximum.

Backing up in the background to an internal hard disk may slow other programs' performance

because of the large amounts of data transferred to the disk. You can limit the hard disk usage by

Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition to a desired level. To set the desired HDD writing

speed for data being backed up, drag the slider or enter the writing speed in kilobytes per second.

8.4.2.2. Network connection speed

The preset is Maximum.

If you frequently back up data to network drives, you may consider limiting the network bandwidth

used by Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition. To set the desired data transfer speed, drag

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

8.4.2.3. Free space threshold

The preset is disabled.

You may want to be notified when the free space on the backup storage becomes less than the

specified value. To enable such notification, select the On insufficient free disk space box, then

specify the free space threshold value in the below fields.

When this option is enabled, Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will monitor free space

on your backup storage. If after starting a backup task Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook

Edition finds out that the free space on the selected backup archive location is already less than the

specified value, the program will not begin the actual backup process but 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 or to cancel the task. In case of choosing to

cancel the backup you can either free some space on the storage and restart the task or create a new

task with another location for the backup archive. If you choose Browse, select another storage, click

OK and the backup file will be created on that storage.
