Due to the necessity of swapping discs, it is strongly recommended to avoid backing up to DVDs if the number of
discs is more than three. When there is no alternative to backing up to DVDs, we recommend to copy all DVDs
to a folder on a hard disk and then to recover from that folder.
Acronis True Image Online
Acronis True Image Home 2011 allows you to use Acronis True Image Online service for safeguarding
your most important files by saving them to a secure remote location. Because files are stored on a
remote storage, they are protected even if your computer gets stolen. So the risk of data loss as a
result of fire, theft, or other natural disasters is practically eliminated. If something happens to your
backup image, PC, or external storage device, you can get your most important files back.
8.2.1.1 FTP connection
Acronis True Image Home 2011 allows you to store your backups on FTP servers.
To create a new FTP connection, when selecting a backup storage click New FTP connection, and in
the opened window provide:
Path to the FTP server, for example: my.server.com
Port
User name
Password
To check your settings click the Test connection button. The computer will try to connect to the
specified FTP server. If the test connection has been established, click the Connect button to add the
FTP connection.
The created FTP connection will appear in the folder tree. Select the connection and browse for the
backup storage that you want to use.
Please, be aware that the mere opening of an FTP server's root folder does not bring you to your home
directory.
An FTP server must allow passive mode file transfers. For data to be recovered directly from an FTP server, the
backup must consist of files no greater than 2GB each.
The firewall settings of the source computer should have Ports 20 and 21 opened for the TPC and UDP protocols
to function. The Routing and Remote Access Windows service should be disabled.
8.2.1.2 Authentication settings
If you are connecting to a networked computer, in most cases you will need to provide the necessary
credentials for accessing the network share.
If you need to specify the user name and password:
Clear the Use NT authentication check box and enter the logon credentials:
User name - enter a user name
Password - enter the user's password
