4.3.8 Backup splitting

Acronis True Image 2015 cannot split already existing backups. Backups can be split only when being created.

Large backups can be split into several files that together make up the original backup. A backup can

also be split for burning to removable media.

The default setting - Automatic. With this setting, Acronis True Image 2015 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 select another disk.

When backing up to a CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, BD-R/RE:

 Acronis True Image 2015 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. This is useful when you store a backup to a hard disk in

order to burn 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.

4.3.9 Backup validation option

You can specify the following settings:

 Validate backup when it is created - Select to check the integrity of the backup version

immediately after backup. We recommend that you enable this option when you back up your

critical data or system disk.

 Validate backup regularly - Select to schedule validation of your backups to ensure that they

remain "healthy".

The default settings are as follows:

 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 before, your computer must be in the "screen saver" state. The same will

occur on September 15, and so on.

You can change the default settings and specify your own schedule. For more information see

Scheduling (p. 39).
