5. If your choice was not Acronis Backup Server, select whether you want to create a full

or incremental backup. If you have not backed up the selected disks/partitions yet, or the

full archive seems too old to append incremental changes to it, choose full backup.

Otherwise it is recommended that you create an incremental or differential backup (see

3.2 Full, incremental and differential backup

6. Select the backup options (that is, backup file splitting, compression level, password

protection, pre/post backup commands etc.). You may Use default options or Set the

options manually. If the latter is the case, the settings will be applied only to the

current backup task. Alternatively, you can edit the default options from the current

screen. Then your settings will be saved as the defaults. See

6.3 Setting backup options

for more information.

7. Provide a comment for the archive. This can help prevent you from restoring the wrong

disk or partition. However, you also can choose not to make any notes. The backup file

size and creation date are automatically appended to the description, so you do not need

to enter this information.

8. At the final step, the backup task summary is displayed. Up to this point, you can click

Back to make changes in the created task. Clicking Proceed will launch the task.

9. (For Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server local version only) The task progress

will be shown in a special window. You can stop the procedure by clicking Cancel.

You can also close the progress window by clicking Hide. The backup creation will

continue, but you will be able to start another operation or close the main program

window. In the latter case, the program will continue working in the background and will

automatically close once the backup archive is ready. If you prepare some more backup

operations, they will be queued after the current.

You can adjust the backup process priority. To do so, click on the process icon in the

System Tray and select Low, Normal, or High priority from the menu that appears. For

information on how to set the default priority, see

6.3.6 Backup performance

10. You may want to see the log when the task is completed. To view the log, click the

Show Operation Logs button on the toolbar.

If you burn an archive to multiple removable media, be sure to number them, since you

will have to insert them in order during the restoration.

6.3 Setting backup options

To view or edit the default backup options in Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server

local version, select Tools -> Options -> Default Backup Options from the main

program menu.

To do the same remotely, connect Acronis True Image Management Console to the

remote computer, click Remote Computer Options and select Default backup

options.

You can edit the default (or set the temporary) backup options while creating a backup

task as well.
