More features suggestions.
Its not critica but rather features request - this is open forum and in my opinion
good place to put this here. I anyway like Acronis TI project and want that it becomes even
more better. Because TrueImage is the only usable sector-based backup.
1) ability like synthetic-backup in Veritas - can construct new base from series of
incremental images. Very good if this construction can be choosed from any snapshot
and later snapshots can be included into this seria.
Its important because if example storage goes full, then you can keep all newer
snapshots - its like ambagious repository. Company like Rembo have implemented such
repository also.
2) first verify of backup must be real comparison vith copyed sectors and after that may be
verify only image.
3) "sectors changed" status can be implemented with special PCI hardware card in card
memory itself.
4) option to adjust "disk inactivity time wait" before starting "open sector backup".
One option to adjust how many seconds drive must be inactive before starting snapshot
and other option to adjust timeout value. Those options are in all Enterprise
backup systems based on files. Files activity isnt good startpoint to snapshots, but
in some situations driver never becomes inactive.
5) real client-server architecture with additional storage server.
