Online backup

True Image 2013 allows you to use the Acronis Cloud service for safeguarding your most important

files by saving them to a secure remote location. Because files are stored on a remote storage, they

are protected even if your computer gets stolen. So the risk of data loss as a result of fire, theft, or

other natural disasters is practically eliminated. If something happens to your backup image, PC, or

external storage device, you can get your most important files back.

7.2.1 FTP connection

True Image 2013 allows you to store your backups on FTP servers.

To create a new FTP connection, when selecting a backup storage click New FTP connection, and in

the opened window provide:

 Path to the FTP server, for example: my.server.com

 Port

 User name

 Password

To check your settings, click the Test connection button. The computer will try to connect to the

specified FTP server. If the test connection has been established, click the Connect button to add the

FTP connection.

The created FTP connection will appear in the folder tree. Select the connection and browse for the

backup storage that you want to use.

Please, be aware that the mere opening of an FTP server's root folder does not bring you to your home

directory.

For data to be recovered directly from an FTP server, the backup must consist of files no greater than 2GB each.

Because of this, True Image 2013 splits a backup into files with a size of 2GB when backing up directly to an FTP

server. If you back up to a hard disk with the aim of transferring the backup to an FTP later, you may split the

backup into files of 2GB each by setting the desired file size in the backup options.

An FTP server must allow passive mode file transfers.

The firewall settings of the source computer should have Ports 20 and 21 opened for the TPC and UDP protocols

to function. The Routing and Remote Access Windows service should be disabled.

7.2.2 Authentication settings

If you are connecting to a networked computer, in most cases you will need to provide the necessary

credentials for accessing the network share. For example, this is possible when you select a backup

storage in the Browse for destination window. The Authentication Settings window appears

automatically when you click a networked computer name. To open it manually, click Specify

credentials for this locations on the toolbar.

If you need to specify the user name and password:

 User name - enter a user name

 Password - enter the user's password

When you click the Test connection button, the computer will try to connect to the selected network

share. If you receive an error message, check if the credentials are correct and provide the correct
