What is excluded from disk backups?

To reduce image size and speed up image creation, by default Acronis True Image 2015 only stores

the hard disk sectors that contain data.

Acronis True Image 2015 excludes the following files from a disk backup:

 pagefile.sys

 hiberfil.sys (a file that keeps RAM contents when the computer goes into hibernation)

You can change this default method by turning on the sector-by-sector mode. In this case, Acronis

True Image 2015 copies all hard disk sectors, and not only those that contain data.

Additionally, when you back up your system partition or disk to Acronis Cloud, True Image excludes

the following data:

 The Temp folder (usually located in C:\Windows\Temp\)

 The System Volume Information folder (usually located in C:\System Volume Information\)

 The Recycle Bin

 Web browser temporary data:

 Temporary Internet files

 Cookies

 History

 Cache

 .tib files

 .tmp files

 .~ files

3.3 Full, incremental and differential backups

Acronis True Image 2015 offers three backup methods:

Full method

The result of a full method backup operation (also known as full backup version) contains all of the

data at the moment of the backup creation.

Example: Every day, you write one page of your document and back it up using the full method. True

Image saves the entire document every time you run backup.
