The 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

task's backup options even if the box is selected in the default backup options.

If you want more functionality during recovery, write a full standalone version of Acronis True Image

Home to the rescue media. As a result, you will be able to configure the recovery task using Recovery

Wizard.

By clicking the Advanced tab you can select Acronis True Image Home (Full version) and Acronis

System Report. In addition, Acronis True Image Home (Safe version) will be available for those who

purchased the boxed version of Acronis True Image Home and installed the appropriate add-on. If

you have other Acronis products installed on your computer, such as Acronis Disk Director Suite, the

bootable versions of these programs' components will be offered on this tab as well.

9.4.2 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.

9.4.2.1 HDD writing speed

The preset is Maximum.

Backing up in the background to an internal hard disk (for example, to Acronis Secure Zone) 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 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.

9.4.2.2 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. To set the desired data transfer speed, drag the slider or enter

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

9.4.2.3 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 will monitor free space on your backup

storage. If after starting a backup task Acronis True Image Home 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
