Wizard window appears to guide you through the task creation procedure.
Form a group for the current task: check computers in the list of remote
computers.
Select disks/partitions to backup. You can select any combination of hard disks
(by number, according to Windows numeration) and partitions (by letter); or All
hard disks. This setting is applied to every computer in the group, so having a
standard (similar) disks/partitions layout on remote computers would be a plus.
Select disk/partitions to image
Specify a path to backup image files. To place every image on its local
computer, input Local path or select Acronis Secure Zone, if there is such a
zone on every remote computer. For more information about creating and
managing Acronis Secure Zone see section 4.2 «Acronis Secure Zone». To place
images on network, check Network path and select the target folder. You
should also provide image file name, unless the image is targeted to Acronis
Secure Zone.
Specify a usual set of backup options: image mode (full or incremental), image
password, image file splitting, compression level and comments.
Select when you would like this task to be started. The scheduling procedure is
almost the same for individual and group tasks, see Chapter 10 «Scheduling» for
details.
If on any reason (traffic limitation, for example) you do not want the task to
start on all computers simultaneously, set Start time shift parameter. The task
will start on all computers in turn, with time shift you specify. As soon as you
select time shift, the resulting task start time for the first and the last computer
will be displayed.
