Scheduling tasks 

Acronis True Image Server for Linux allows you to schedule periodic backup tasks. Doing so 

will give you peace of mind, knowing that your data are safe. 

You can create more than one independently scheduled task. For example, you can back up 

your current project daily and back up the application disk once a week.  

All the scheduled tasks appear in the 

Active Tasks

 area of the main window. You can start, 

stop, edit, delete and rename the scheduled tasks. 

7.1 

Creating scheduled tasks 

1. To invoke the 

Schedule Task Wizard

, click on its icon on the 

Active Tasks

 toolbar or 

select 

Operations -> Schedule Task

 from the main menu. 

2. Click 

Next

. 

3. Configure a backup task in the usual way (see 

Chapter 5 Creating backup archives under 

X Window System). If you choose to create the backup archive on a network drive, you will 

have to enter a user name and a password for network access. 

4. Set the task execution periodicity. 

 

Do not start automatically – the task will be saved, but not launched automatically. You will 

be able to launch it later by clicking the start button on the Active Tasks pane 

•

 

Daily

 – the task will be executed once a day or once in several days
