6.7.2. Laptop Mode

Laptop Mode is especially designed for laptop and notebook users. Its purpose is to

minimize the impact of Acronis Backup and Security 2010 on power consumption

while these devices are running on battery. While in Laptop Mode, scheduled scan

tasks are not performed, as they require more system resources and, implicitly,

increase power consumption.

Acronis Backup and Security 2010 detects when your laptop has switched to battery

power and it automatically enters Laptop Mode. Likewise, Acronis Backup and

Security 2010 automatically exits Laptop Mode, when it detects the laptop is no

longer running on battery.

To enable Acronis Backup and Security 2010's Laptop Mode, follow these steps:

1. Open Acronis Backup and Security 2010.

2. Click the Settings button in the upper-right corner of the window.

3. In the General Settings category, select the check box corresponding to Laptop

Mode Detection.

4. Click OK to save and apply the changes.

6.8. Automatic Device Detection

Acronis Backup and Security 2010 automatically detects when you connect a

removable storage device to your computer and offers to scan it before you access

its files. This is recommended in order to prevent viruses and other malware from

infecting your computer.

Detected devices fall into one of these categories:

● CDs/DVDs

● USB storage devices, such as flash pens and external hard-drives

● mapped (remote) network drives

When such a device is detected, an alert window is displayed.
