5.5 When an ADRM alert is received

This schedule is effective in Windows operating systems when Acronis® Drive Monitor™ (ADRM) is
installed.
Acronis Drive Monitor reports on hard disk health by using the hard disk's internal monitoring system
(S.M.A.R.T.). Based on alerts from Acronis Drive Monitor, you can set up emergency backups of your
data in addition to regular backups. The emergency backup will start when a hard disk with your data
is about to fail.
The backup starts as soon as disk health reaches a warning level or a critical level. You can see the
disk health indicator (as a percentage) for each disk by opening Acronis Drive Monitor.
Alerts about disk temperature do not start the backup.
Tip: If your backup plan uses the custom backup scheme (p. 135), you can set up this emergency backup simply
by adding an extra schedule to the same backup plan. When using a different backup scheme, you will need to
create a separate backup plan.

5.6 Conditions

Conditions add more flexibility to the scheduler, enabling to execute backup tasks with respect to
certain conditions. Once a specified event occurs (see the "Scheduling (p. 87)" section for the list of
available events), the scheduler checks the specified condition and executes the task if the condition
is met.
