How to configure a rotation (Full-Backup and daily incremental?)

Hi!

I just try out True Image Home and it looks good until now. But: How can I configure the software to make a weekly full backup of my data and a daily incremental backup? Do I need to configure two tasks? And what happen, then the diskspace is full: Does True Image automatically delete the oldest full backup and the incremental-files that are part of it?

Thanks,
Sebastian

 

Your question is missing one crucial piece of information.
What version are you running?

F.

 

Sorry, the Version 10.0 Home.

 

You have three choice to investigate :

Backup Locations
Secure Zone (not really recommended)
Multiple Schedules

F.

 

You should be aware that when using Backup Locations or the Secure Zone all previous images are re-validated when a validation is run on the latest image.
Tedious or what!
Unless of course that has been changed in the latest 4942 build. As is normal Acronis has not told users exactly what has been changed by this update. One has to find out for oneself or see if any users have done the tests for you.

 

Build 4942 has not changed this, it's still re-validating all previous images.

 

I have choosen the Backup Locations and store my Backup on a external USB-Harddrive. I also set some limits for diskspace, number of backups and so one. But I just want to know, what happen, then the disk space is full. I just need a solution, that works automatically, because I want to install in for friends, who don't really understand how to handle a computer-backup.

Have a read of Chapter 7 of the user guide. For example :

"When a user starts backup, the selected location will be checked and, if any limitation is exceeded, the oldest backups will be consolidated or deleted."

Ok, thank you for this. But: I still don't understand how to make a weekly full backup and a daily incremental backup.

Thank you,
Sebastian

 

Can I suggest that you read the user guide. It is far from perfect, but there is quite a bit in there. Have you looked at page 50 for example which includes :

"2) create full backups with specified number of incremental backups"

F.

 

Ok, I found it. I didn't understand, that I have to choose a backup location and not only a folder on my network drive to let it run.

Thank you,
Sebastian
