When you choose to protect your critical data, the program will offer to back up the system partition
and your personal data to a destination it considers the optimum place for backups (see the
destination selection algorithm below). You can choose another destination for backups by clicking
the down arrow to the right of the destination and browsing for a destination you prefer.
By default, Acronis True Image Home 2011 will schedule subsequent full backups of the system
partition once a month. After completing a new full backup, the program will delete the old one to
save disk space.
In case of Windows 7 the program will also back up the System Reserved partition. You may need to recover
that partition if your system crashes.
The program also lets you enable continuous protection of your personal data. For information on
the default content of that data see What personal data is protected by One-click Backup (p. 21).
After the selected items are backed up, you can change the default settings for My computer backup and
personal data backup. To do this, select the appropriate backup on the main screen and then click Edit backup
settings in the Operations menu.
If you choose a removable media as the backup destination (for instance, an USB hard drive), it will
be made bootable by default. In other words, a bootable recovery environment, a standalone Acronis
True Image Home 2011 version and the backed up data, will be written to the removable media.
You will be able to run Acronis True Image Home 2011 from the removable media on a bare-metal
system or a crashed computer that cannot boot. Just make the removable media device the first boot
device in BIOS, boot to Acronis True Image Home 2011 and recover your system and/or personal
data.
To start One-Click Backup, click the Back up now button. Clicking Cancel will cancel One-Click Backup.
If you decide to use this feature later, click Tools & Utilities in the main program menu and then
choose Acronis One-Click Backup.
