8. Click Create a full version after every [n] incremental versions, and type or select "6".
In that case, the program will first create the initial full backup version (no matter how you set up
a backup process, the first backup version will always be the full one), and then 6 incremental
versions day by day. Then, it will create 1 full version and 6 incremental versions again and so on.
So every new full version will be created in exactly a week's time.
9. To limit the storage time for the versions, click Turn on automatic cleanup.
10. Click Delete version chains older than [n] days, type or select "21", and click OK.
11. In the File Backup window, check that all settings are correct and click Back up now. If you want
your first backup to run only at the time you specified in the Scheduler, click the down arrow to
the right of the Back up now button and select Later in the drop down list.
2. Disk backup “Full version every 2 months + differential version twice a month”
Case: You need to back up your system partition twice a month and create a new full backup version
every two months. In addition, you want to use no more than 100 GB of disk space to store the
backup versions. Let’s see how you can do it using a custom backup scheme.
1. On the main screen, click Disk and partition backup.
2. In the Disk Backup window, select your system partition (usually C:), and specify the backup
destination. For more information see Backing up partitions and disks (p. 41).
3. Click Turn on for the Schedule item. In the Scheduler window click Monthly, and specify, for
example, the 1st and 15th days of the month. This will result in a backup version in about every 2
weeks. Then specify a start time for the backup operation.
4. Click Version chain near the Backup scheme item (Version chain is the default backup scheme).
5. In the Disk Backup Options window, make sure that the Backup scheme tab is selected.
6. Choose Custom scheme instead of Version chain scheme.
7. In the Backup method box, select Differential from the drop down list.
8. Click Create a full version after every [n] differential versions, and type or select "3".
In that case the program will first create the initial full backup version (no matter how you set up
a backup process, the first backup version will always be the full one), and then 3 differential
versions, each one in about two weeks. Then again a full version and 3 differential versions and
so on. So every new full version will be created in two months.
9. To limit storage space for the versions, click Turn on automatic cleanup.
10. Click Keep size of the backup no more than [defined size], type or select "100" "GB", and click
OK.
When the total backup size exceeds 100 GB, Acronis True Image Home 2011 will clean up the existing
backup versions to make the remaining versions satisfy the size limit. The program will delete the oldest
backup chain consisting of a full backup version and 3 differential backup versions.
11. In the Disk Backup window, check that all settings are correct and click Back up now. If you want
your first backup to be run only at the time you specified in the Scheduler, click the down arrow
to the right of the Back up now button and select Later in the drop down list.
3. Disk or file backup “Initial full version + a sequence of incremental versions”
Case: You like the default backup settings of Acronis True Image Home 2010 and want to replicate
them in Acronis True Image Home 2011. Let’s consider the file backup settings. You can configure
disk or e-mail backup settings in a similar way.
1. On the main screen, click File backup.
