Chapter 8. Scheduling tasks

Acronis True Image Enterprise Server allows you to schedule periodic backup tasks. Doing so
will give you peace of mind, knowing that your data are safe.
You can create more than one independently scheduled task. For example, you can back up
your current project daily and back up the application disk once a week.
All the scheduled tasks appear in the Active Tasks area of the Acronis True Image
Enterprise Server local version main window and in Manage Computer Tasks window of
Acronis True Image Management Console, connected to the local computer. You can start,
stop, edit, delete and rename the scheduled tasks from these windows.
