User`s guide

 Acronis System Report - the component allows you to generate system report that is used for

collecting information about your system in case of any program problem. Report generation will

be available before you start Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup from the bootable media.

The generated system report can be saved to a USB flash drive.

 Ask for first media while creating backup archives on removable media

You can choose whether to display the Insert First Media prompt when backing up to removable

media. With the default setting, backing up to removable media may not be possible if the user is

away, because the program will wait for someone to press OK in the prompt box.

8.3.2 Local storage settings

These settings also affect the backup process, for example, they may have a more or less noticeable

effect on the backup process speed. Their values also depend on the physical characteristics of the

local storage devices.

8.3.2.1 Free space threshold

The preset is disabled.

You may want to be notified when the free space on the backup storage becomes less than the

specified value. To enable such notification, select the On insufficient free disk space box, then

specify the free space threshold value in the below fields.

When this option is enabled, Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup will monitor free space on your

backup storage. If after starting a backup task Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup finds out that

the free space on the selected backup archive location is already less than the specified value, the

program will not begin the actual backup process but 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 or to cancel the task. In case of choosing to cancel the backup

you can either free some space on the storage and restart the task or create a new task with another

location for the backup archive. If you choose Browse, select another storage, click OK and the

backup file will be created on that storage.

If the free space becomes less than the specified value while the backup task is being run, the

program will display the same message and you will have to make the same decisions. However, if

you choose to browse for another location, you will need to assign a name for the file that will

contain the remaining data being backed up (or you may accept the default name assigned by the

program).

Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup can monitor free space on the following storage devices:

 Local hard drives

 USB cards and drives

 Networks shares (SMB/NFS)

This option cannot be enabled for FTP servers and CD/DVD drives.

The message will not be displayed if the "Do not show messages and dialogs while processing (silent

mode)" box is selected in the "Error handling" settings.

8.3.2.2 Archive splitting

Sizeable backups can be split into several files that together form the original backup. A backup file

can be split for burning to removable media.
