The "farther" you store the archive from the original folders, the safer it will be in case of disaster.
For example, saving the archive to another hard disk will protect your data if the primary disk is
damaged. Data saved to a network disk, an FTP server or removable media will survive even if all
your local hard disks are damaged. You can also use the Acronis Secure Zone for storing backups if
you are using the Windows version of the product. (see details in Acronis Secure Zone™ (p. 20)).
See notes and recommendations for supporting FTP servers in Supported storage media (p. 14).
After selecting the archive location and naming the backup archive to be created, you have
completed all the required steps for a backup task and this is confirmed by the fact that you come to
the Finish step with the Summary of the backup task being displayed on the right pane. All the
remaining steps are optional and in many cases you may omit them and just click Proceed. For
example, when you want to proceed with backup right away, you can omit the Scheduling step. If
you do not want to exclude any files from the backup, you can omit the What to exclude step. When
you want to use the default backup options, you can omit the Backup options step, and so on.
Now let's see what optional steps you can set up while configuring a backup task. Click the Options
button.
9.3.3 Scheduling
By default, the Do not schedule option is chosen so the task will run after completing the wizard and
clicking Proceed. However, you may wish to schedule the task being configured by choosing one of
the scheduling options.
For more information see Scheduling tasks (p. 108).
9.3.4 Backup method
Select whether you want to create a full, incremental or differential backup. If you have not backed
up the selected data yet, or the full archive is old and you want to create a new master backup file,
choose full backup. Otherwise it is recommended that you create an incremental or differential
backup (see Full, incremental and differential backups (p. 18)).
