Operation Manual

Or, you can select Fixed size and 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. That comes in handy

when backing up to a hard disk with a view to burning the archive to CD-R/RW or

DVD

+R/RW later on.

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

than it would on a hard disk.

5.3.7 File-level security settings

Preserve file security settings in archives

By default, files and folders are saved in the archive with their original Windows security

settings (i.e. permissions for read, write, execute and so on for each user or user group, set

in file Properties -> Security). If you restore a secured file/folder on a computer without

the user specified in the permissions, you may not be able to read or modify this file.

To eliminate this kind of problem, you can disable preserving file security settings in

archives. Then the restored files/folders will always inherit the permissions from the folder to

which they are restored (parent folder or disk, if restored to the root).

Or, you can disable file security settings during restoration, even if they are available in the

archive (see

6.4.4 File-level security settings

below). The result will be the same.

In archives, store encrypted files in decrypted state

The preset is disabled.

If you do not use the encryption feature available in Windows XP operating systems, simply

ignore this option. (Files/folders encryption is set in Properties -> General -> Advanced

Attributes -> Encrypt contents to secure data).

Check the option if there are encrypted files in the backup and you want them to be

accessed by any user after restore. Otherwise, only the user who encrypted the files/folders

will be able to read them. Decryption may also be useful if you are going to restore

encrypted files on another computer.

These options relate only to file/folder backup.

5.3.8 Media components

The preset is disabled.

When backing up to removable media, you can make this media bootable by writing to it

additional components. Thus, you will not need a separate rescue disk.

Choose the basic components necessary for boot and restoring data on the General tab.

The Acronis One-Click Restore is a minimal addition to your rescue media, allowing one-

click data recovery from an image archive stored on this media. This means that at boot

from the media and clicking “restore”, all data will be silently restored to its original place.

No options or selections such as resizing partitions will be possible.

If you want more functionality during restoration, write a standalone version of Acronis

True Image Home to the rescue disk. Then you will be able to configure the restore task

using Restore Data Wizard, use Acronis Snap Restore etc.

Under Advanced tab you can select full, safe or both Acronis True Image Home loader

version. The safe version does not have USB, PC card or SCSI drivers and is useful only in
