Try & Decide and backup tasks

I would like to give Try & Decide a try yes I know, but I can easily return to a previously made back up if it ends up terribly wrong).

I wonder, however, how Acronis (I use 2009) handles this in combination with set backup tasks. Does it cleverly not run the tasks while in Try & Decide mode and run them as soon as it gets back to normal mode, or what?

I can't find this in the manual. Anyone knows?

 

Nobody working with T&D AND back up tasks?

 

Hello dclkdm,

Thank you for using Acronis Products

Can you please clarify the question? There will be no any issues performing schedule tasks while using Try&Decide.

Best regards,

My question is, can scheduled tasks run while in the Try & Decide mode?

Thank you.

 

Hello dclkdm,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

Scheduled task will not run while in the Try&Decide Mode. If you tick 'Run if missed' box and discard changes, the task will run after the reboot.

Thank you.

Thank you! That was the thing I was wondering about.

 

T&D is just buggy bloatware not fit for purpose. There are numerous threads here detailing the issues.

If you want to give it a go then do a FULL backup first.

I wasted days testing it and filed various bug reports about T&D.

I dont use it now and can not recommend it.

Better to do a full backup, try any new software then restore if needed.

 

Of course I'll do a full back up first. But maybe it will work for me. If not I can always put full back up back, no problem.

 

Good luck. Please give a report back on how you get on. I have not tested it since build 9709.
