7.3 Using Acronis Nonstop Backup
Using Acronis Nonstop Backup is easy. After you start Nonstop Backup the program automatically
creates the initial image of the partitions you have selected for protection, and thereafter continues
to back up changes on those partitions until the Nonstop Backup Storage has free space.
Be aware that when all free space is used, Acronis Nonstop Backup does not delete the oldest data
automatically, but simply stops working and notifies you by displaying a balloon message in the
Windows taskbar notification area. In this case you will need either to clean up the obsolete data
manually to free up some space or select another location for Nonstop Backup Storage.
If you select a new location for storage, Acronis Nonstop Backup will create there a new initial image
of the partitions selected for protection, and then will operate like it has done with the previous
storage.
If you select a new storage while the old one is not yet filled up, you will be able to continue using
the old storage after some time. This may be useful when your old storage is an external hard disk
drive. You can disconnect it for a while, e.g. for safekeeping at a friend's house. When you decide to
use the storage again, attach the drive, select it on the Nonstop Backup storage management
window and make it the active storage.
