The “farther” you store the archive from the original folders, the safer it will be in case of
data damage. For example, saving the archive to another hard disk will protect your data if
the primary disk is damaged. Data saved to a network disk, ftp-server or removable media
will survive even if all your local hard disks are down. In addition to NFS, Acronis True
Image Server for Linux supports the SMBFS network file system.
Please check, that the network backup node is accessible for Acronis True Image Server for Linux Rescue
CD Network Browser, otherwise you cannot restore images stored on this node.
An FTP server must allow passive mode for file transfers. To enable data recovery directly from FTP
server split the archive to files no more than 2 Gb in size.
You can also use Acronis Secure Zone (see details in
3.3 Acronis Secure Zone) for storing
backups. In that case, you need not provide the file name.

10. Select whether you want to create a full, incremental or differential backup. If you have
not backed up the selected files/folders yet, or the full archive seems too old to append
incremental changes to it, choose full backup. Otherwise it is recommended that you create
an incremental or differential backup (see
3.2 Full, incremental and differential backups).
