Acronis

[Terry]

How complicated would it be to set up Acronis 11 to back my boot drive
once a week?

I would also like to set it up to back up My documents once a day.

Will Acronis do this and give the file a unique name each time?

Thank you for you time.

It has a Scheduled Tasks section which looks very easy to set.............I
have never used it mind, but hey everything else True Image is good so why
should this part not be.

Well I have never tried using the scheduler built into XP but I tried
messing with the Acronis back up settings.

It looks like you have to keep it running 24/7 to do a backup.

I did not see a task added to XP scheduler.

I am new so maybe this won't matter. I am just asking.

Acronis add it`s own task scheduler to your `services` T.

I use Acronis..I manually image the C drive once a week..incremental and I
use the seperate Acronis Backup Scheduler(part of the package) to create
incremental backups nitely of my personal files...Once the Backup is
originally created then you can backup incremental...which backs up just the
changes

Scheduling Acronis to back up the hard drive is easy. Following the wizard
directions is realtively effortless, and one has many options, as to have it
back up daily, every other day, weekdays, weekly etc. The only problem I've
found with this program is that it really does not back up to DVD media
smoothly the way it's advertsised to do. Disks seem to get corrupted either
in burning them or reading them later for a restore. However, cloning an
image to another drive and saving those backups seems to be very reliable
after using the program for more than 3 years now.

This is all Windoze's fault.

Making a backup of you data should be as easy as copy/paste.
