8.3.3. Scheduling
By default, the Do not schedule option is chosen so the task will run after completing the wizard and
clicking Proceed. However, you may wish to schedule the task being configured by choosing one of
the scheduling options.
For more information see Scheduling tasks (p. 92).
8.3.4. Backup method
Select whether you want to create a full, incremental or differential backup. If you have not backed
up the selected data yet, or the full archive is old and you want to create a new master backup file,
choose full backup. Otherwise it is recommended that you create an incremental or differential
backup (see Full, incremental and differential backups (p. 17)).
If you are adding a backup to the existing backup archive, the Full method will be unselectable.
You can set a backup policy for the backup task. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition
offers three types of backup policies:
• create full backups only
• create full backups after a specified number of incremental backups
• create full backups after a specified number of differential backups
When the first backup on a schedule is executed, Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition
always creates a full backup.
If you choose (1) by selecting the Full method, you can also choose what to do with the previous full
backup when creating a new one. By default Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition
overwrites the previous full backup, but you can choose to keep it by unselecting the A new full
backup overwrites the previous one box.
