7. Click Next.
8. 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
incremental and differential backup
9. Click Next.
10. 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
information.
11. Click Next.
12. Provide a comment for the archive. This can help prevent you from restoring the wrong
disk/partition. However, you 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.
13. Click Next.
14. 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 execution.
15. (For Acronis True Image Enterprise Server local version only) The task will appear on the
Active tasks pane of the main window. 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
16. 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 several removable media, be sure to number them, since you will
have to insert them in order during the restoration.
