Please, be aware that built-in support of zip files in Windows does not cover operations with

multivolume zip archives, and zip archives exceeding 4GB in size or which contain files of

more than 4GB each. Also remember that CD/DVDs are not supported as locations for

reserve copies created as zip archives and flat files.

5.6 Archive to various places

You can save full, incremental and differential backups of the same data entity (for example,

a partition, disk, E-mail, Applications settings) to various places – almost anywhere you like.

5.6.1 Why you need this feature

The previous versions of Acronis True Image Home could save incremental or differential

backups only in the same place (a folder, disk, backup location, etc.) as the initial full

backup. Usually this is not a problem but sometimes this could be difficult or simply

impossible to achieve, for example, due to using up all the available disk space. Of course,

Acronis True Image Home provided means for alleviating this problem – it could manage

backups in the Acronis Secure Zone and in backup locations and was able to automatically

delete the oldest backups freeing the space it needed for new ones. This is still true for the

Acronis Secure Zone. Such an approach worked just fine in most cases, however, there could

be exceptions.

For example, you saved a full backup of your system disk to an external USB hard disk drive

and it occupied almost all the disk. If later you would like to make an incremental backup of

that disk while keeping the initial full one, this was simply impossible.

Also, you could assign a meaningful name only to a full backup. Incremental and differential

backups were named automatically by adding sequential numbers to the full backup name.

You could add a comment with a description of the backup while configuring a backup task

in the wizard, but in order to read this description you needed to launch Acronis True Image

Home and select the appropriate tib archive in the Restore wizard.

There was one more drawback. Suppose you were making a large backup to a hard disk and

after an hour you got a message warning you that the disk is full. You could try to free some
