User`s guide

A single backup file will be created if the destination disk's file system allows the estimated file

size.

The backup will automatically be split into several files if the destination disk's file system does

not allow the estimated file size. Such might be the case when the backup is placed on FAT16 and

FAT32 file systems that have a 4GB file size limit.

If the destination disk runs out of free space while creating the backup, the task enters the Need

interaction state. You have the ability to free additional space and retry the operation. If you do

so, the resulting backup will be split into the parts created before and after the retry.

 When backing up to removable media (CD, DVD or a tape device locally attached to the

managed machine):

The task will enter the Need interaction state and ask for a new media when the previous one is

full.

Fixed size

Enter the desired file size or select it from the drop-down list. The backup will then be split into

multiple files of the specified size. This comes in handy when creating a backup that you plan to burn

to multiple CDs or DVDs later on. You might also want to split the backup destined to an FTP server,

since data recovery directly from an FTP server requires the backup to be split into files no more than

2GB in size.

3.3.1.12 Media components

This option is effective for both Windows and Linux operating systems, when the backup destination

is removable media.

When backing up to removable media, you can make this media work as regular Linux-based

bootable media (p. 163) by writing additional components to it. As a result, you will not need a

separate rescue disc.

The preset is: None selected.

Select the check boxes for the components you want to put on the bootable media:

 One-Click Restore is the minimal addition to a disk backup stored on removable media, allowing

for easy recovery from this backup. If you boot a machine from the media and click Run Acronis

One-click Restore, the disk will be immediately recovered from the backup contained on the

same media.

Caution: Because the one-click approach does not presume user selections, such as selecting volumes to

recover, Acronis One-Click Restore always recovers the entire disk. If your disk contains several volumes and

you are planning to use Acronis One-Click Restore, include all the volumes in the backup. Any volumes

missing from the backup will be lost.

 Bootable agent is a bootable rescue utility (based on Linux kernel) that includes most of the

functionality of the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent. Put this component on the media if you

want more functionality during recovery. You will be able to configure the recovery operation in

the same way as under regular bootable media; use Active Restore or Universal Restore. If the

media is being created in Windows, the disk management functionality will also be available.

3.3.1.13 Error handling

These options are effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and bootable media.

These options enable you to specify how to handle errors that might occur during backup.
