Try&Decide and Nonstop Backup cannot work simultaneously. Starting the Try mode suspends
Nonstop Backup. You will need to restart Nonstop Backup manually after you stop the Try mode.
8.5.2 Starting the Try mode
To start the Try mode:
Click Try & Decide in the main program menu.
Set up the Try&Decide options:
Protected partitions (p. 146)
Storage for virtual changes (p. 146)
Alert settings (p. 146)
Start the Try mode by clicking the Try & Decide icon. The program starts tracking all changes
made to the OS and files and temporarily stores all the changes on the selected disk.
Every "soft" reboot of your computer while in the Try mode will result in adding up to 500 MB of
Try&Decide's housekeeping data into the storage selected for storing virtual changes. This data will
be added even if the protected partition has not changed between reboots.
Having performed all the changes you wanted to try, click the Try & Decide icon again to turn off the
Try mode. The program will ask if you want to apply or to discard the changes.
Acronis True Image Home 2011 will track changes until the disk space in the location selected for storing virtual
changes remains sufficient for applying the changes if you choose to apply them. Then the program will alert
you that the time has come to make a decision on whether to apply or discard the changes made so far. If you
choose to not heed the alert message, the program will automatically restart the system when the disk is full,
discarding the changes in the process of rebooting. At that point, all changes will be lost.
8.5.3 Stopping the Try mode
When you decide to turn the mode off, click the Try & Decide icon in the Try & Decide window.
Select Apply changes if you want to keep the changes made to the system.
Select Apply changes with reboot if you want to speed up the applying process. When you click the
button, Try&Decide restarts your computer and applies the changes during the reboot.
Select Discard changes if you want to return your system to the state it was in prior to turning on the
Try mode.
If you have chosen Discard Changes and rebooted the computer with multiple operating systems installed, you
won’t be able to boot other operating systems except the one used for working in the Try mode. A second
reboot will recover the original MBR and make other operating systems bootable.
8.5.4 Try&Decide options and notifications
To view or edit the default options of the Try&Decide feature, select Tools & Utilities -> Try&Decide
on the toolbar. The options and notifications will be displayed in the corresponding areas of the main
window.
