 Click Add specific files and folders to manage the list of custom files and folders that you do not
want to overwrite.
 To disable overwriting of specific files, click the Add... button to create an exclusion criterion.
 While specifying the criteria, you can use the common Windows wildcard characters. For
example, to preserve all files with extension .exe, you can add *.exe. Adding My???.exe will
preserve all .exe files with names consisting of five symbols and starting with “my”.
To delete a criterion, for example, added by mistake, click the Delete icon to the right of the
criterion.
4.10.6 Performance of recovery operation
On the Performance tab you can configure the following settings:
Operation priority
Changing the priority of a backup or recovery process can make it run faster or slower (depending on
whether you raise or lower the priority), but it can also adversely affect the performance of other
running programs. The priority of any process running in a system, determines the amount of CPU
usage and system resources allocated to that process. Decreasing the operation priority will free
more resources for other CPU tasks. Increasing backup or recovery priority may speed up the process
by taking resources from the other currently running processes. The effect will depend on total CPU
usage and other factors.
You can set up the operation priority:
 Low (enabled by default) - the backup or recovery process will run slower, but the performance
of other programs will be increased.
 Normal - the backup or recovery process will have the equal priority with other processes.
 High - the backup or recovery process will run faster, but the performance of other programs will
be reduced. Be aware that selecting this option may result in 100% CPU usage by Acronis True
Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition.
4.10.7 Notifications for recovery operation
Sometimes a backup or recovery procedure can last an hour or longer. Acronis True Image Home
2011 Netbook Edition can notify you when it is finished via e-mail. The program can also duplicate
messages issued during the operation or send you the full operation log after operation completion.
By default all notifications are disabled.
Free disk space threshold
You may want to be notified when the free space on the backup storage becomes less than the
specified threshold value. If after starting a backup Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition
finds out that the free space in the selected backup location is already less than the specified value,
the program will not begin the actual backup process and 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 for the backup or to cancel the backup.
