When backing up to a diskette, CD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW:
Acronis True Image Workstation
will ask you to insert a new disk when the previous one is full.
Alternatively, you can select
Fixed size
and enter the desired file size or select it from the
drop-down list. The backup will then be split into multiple files of the specified size. That
comes in handy when backing up to a hard disk with a view to burning the archive to CD-
R/RW or DVD+R/RW later on.
Creating images directly on CD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW might take considerably more time
than it would on a hard disk.
6.3.8 File-level security settings
Preserve files’ security settings in archives
By default, files and folders are saved in the archive with their original Windows security
settings (i.e. permissions for read, write, execute and so on for each user or user group, set
in file
Properties -> Security
). If you restore a secured file/folder on a computer without
user, specified in the permissions, you may not be able to read or modify this file.
To completely eliminate this kind of problem, you can disable preserving files’ security
settings in archives. Then the restored files/folders will always inherit the permissions from
the folder, where they are restored to (parent folder or disk, if restored to the root).
Alternatively, you can disable files’ security settings during restoration, even if they are
available in the archive (see
7.4 5 File-level security
settings below). The result will be the
same.
.
In archives, store encrypted files in decrypted state
The default setting –
disabled
.
If you do not use encryption feature, available in Windows XP operating system, simply
ignore this option. (Files/folders encryption is set in
Properties -> General -> Advanced
Attributes -> Encrypt contents to secure data
).
Check the option if there are encrypted files in the backup and you want them to be
accessed by any user after restore. Otherwise, only the user who encrypted the files/folders
will be able to read them. Decryption may also be useful if you are going to restore
encrypted files on another computer.
These options relate only to file/folders backup.
6.3.9 Media components
The default setting –
disabled
.
When backing up to removable media, you can make this media bootable by writing to it
additional components. Thus, you will not need a separate rescue disk.
The current program version does not support creating bootable DVDs.
Choose the basic components, necessary for boot and restoring data, on the
General
tab.
The
Acronis One-Click Restore
is a minimal addition to your rescue media, allowing one-
click data recovery from an image archive, stored on this media. This means that at boot
from the media and clicking “restore” all data will be silently restored to the original place.
No options or selections like resizing partitions will be possible.
