User's Manual

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).

Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition can monitor free space on the following storage

devices:

• Local hard drives

• USB cards and drives

• Networks shares (SMB/NFS)

This option cannot be enabled for FTP servers and CD/DVD drives.

The message will not be displayed if the "Do not show messages and dialogs while processing (silent

mode)" box is selected in the "Error handling" settings.

8.4.2.4. Archive splitting

Sizeable backups can be split into several files that together form 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 of no more than 2GB).

Suppose you have a full backup of your PC on an external hard disk, but want to make one more

backup copy of the system to keep it in a different location from the first one for added security.

However, you do not have one more external hard disk, and a USB stick would not accommodate

such a large backup. Using Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition you can make a reserve

backup copy on blank DVD-R/DVD+R discs, which are very cheap nowadays. The program can split

large backups into several files that together form the original backup. If you have enough space on

your netbook's hard disk, you can first create a backup archive consisting of multiple files with a

specified size on the hard disk and burn the archive to DVD+R discs later on. To specify the split file

size, select Fixed size mode for Archive splitting and enter the desired file size or select it from the

drop-down list.

If you do not have enough space to store the backup on your hard disk, select Automatic and create

the backup directly on DVD-R discs. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition will split the

backup archive automatically and will ask you to insert a new disc when the previous one is full.

Creating backups directly on CD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW might take considerably more time than it

would on a hard disk.

8.4.2.5. Backup reserve copy

The preset is disabled.

You may want Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition to make reserve copies of your

backups in a certain location each time when you choose the My Data backup type for backing up

selected files and folders. To enable creation of reserve copies, select the Create a reserve copy of

my backups check box and then choose the method for making reserve copies. You have three

choices: duplicate the backups as tib files, make reserve copies as zip archives, or simply copy the files

and/or folders to a specified location "as is".
