When the option is disabled, the program will display a pop-up window each time it comes across a
bad sector and ask for a user decision as to whether to continue or stop the backup procedure. In
order to back up the valid information on a rapidly dying disk, enable ignoring bad sectors. The rest
of the data will be backed up and you will be able to mount the resulting disk backup and extract
valid files to another disk.

Dual destination
This option is effective for both Windows and Linux operating systems, when the primary backup
destination is a
local folder or Acronis Secure Zone
and the secondary destination is
another local
folder or network share
. Managed vaults and FTP servers are not supported as secondary
destinations.
The preset is:
Disabled.
When dual destination is enabled, the agent will automatically copy each backup being created
locally to the secondary destination such as a network share. Once the backup to the primary
destination is completed, the agent compares the updated archive contents to the secondary archive
contents, and copies to the secondary destination all backups that are missing there along with the
new backup.
This option enables quick machine backup to the internal drive as an intermediate step before saving
the ready backup on the network. This comes in handy in cases of slow or busy networks and time-
consuming backup procedures. Disconnection during the copy transfer will not affect the backup
operation as opposed to backing up directly to the remote location.
Other advantages:
Replication enhances the archive reliability.
Roaming users can back up their portable computers to Acronis Secure Zone while on the road.
When the portable computer is connected to the corporate network, all changes made to the
archive will be transferred to its stationary copy after the first backup operation.
If you select the password-protected Acronis Secure Zone as the primary destination, keep in mind that the
archive in the secondary destination will not be protected with a password.

You might have to provide the access credentials for the secondary destination. Enter the credentials
on prompt.

Task start conditions
This option is effective in Windows and Linux operating systems.
This option is not available when operating under bootable media.
This option determines the program behavior in case a backup task is about to start (the scheduled
time comes or the event specified in the schedule occurs), but the condition (or any of multiple
conditions) is not met. For more information on conditions please see Scheduling (p. 158) and
Conditions (p. 169).
