3.11.5 Backup splitting
Sizeable backups can be split into several files that together make up the original backup. A single
backup can also be split for burning to removable media.
The default setting - Automatic. With this setting, Acronis True Image Home 2011 will act as follows.
When backing up to a hard disk:
If the selected disk has enough space and its file system allows the estimated file size, the
program will create a single backup file.
If the storage disk has enough space, but its file system does not allow the estimated file size, the
program will automatically split the image into several files.
If you do not have enough space to store the image on your hard disk, the program will warn you
and wait for your decision as to how you plan to fix the problem. You can try to free some
additional space and continue or click Back and select another disk.
When backing up to a CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, BD-R/RE:
Acronis True Image Home 2011 will ask you to insert a new disk when the previous one is full.
Alternatively, you may select the desired file size from the drop-down list. The backup will then be
split into multiple files of the specified size. That comes in handy when backing up to a hard disk with
the view to burning the backup to CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW or BD-R/RE later on.
Creating images directly on CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, BD-R/RE might take considerably more time
than it would on a hard disk.
3.11.6 Backup validation option
You can specify the additional validation setting: Validate backup when it is created.
When this option is enabled, the program will check the integrity of the recently created or
supplemented backup version immediately after backup. When setting up a backup of critical data or
a disk/partition backup, we strongly recommend that you enable this option in order to ensure that
the backup can be used to recover the lost data.
Regular validation
You can also schedule validation of your backups to ensure that they remain "healthy". By default
regular validation is turned on with the following settings:
Frequency: once a month
Day: the date when the backup was started
Time: the moment of backup start plus 15 minutes
Advanced settings: the Run the validation only when the computer is idle check box is selected
Example: You start a backup operation on July 15, at 12.00. The backup version is created at 12.05.
Its validation will run at 12.15 if your computer is in the "screen saver" state at the moment. If not,
then the validation will not run. In a month, August 15, at 12.15, the validation will start again. As
