Non-stop configuration

Thread needs solution

Help says:

select Operations ® Clean up... on the Nonstop Backup box. Acronis True Image Home 2011 displays a window allowing you to select a period of time for deleting the backup versions created during that period. Select the required period and click OK. You can also completely clean up the Acronis Nonstop Backup storage by selecting Operations ® Delete backup in the Nonstop Backup box. Be careful, as this operation destroys all data backed up by Acronis Nonstop Backup.

I do not see anything with those names. Is this initial setup only? If so, why?

Hi there,

I am not sure this is what you are asking: Non Stop backup (NSB) is a separate type of backup. You can set it up from the main user interface. After it have been workin for several hours / days, you will be able to make sense of the clean up option: this will delete a portion of your backup data. For example if you started NSB Monday, and your backup is becoming too big on Sunday, you can choose to delete backups from Monday to Wednesday, for example.

On My Acronis True Image Home 11, I cannot see any option to set up Nonstop backup. Not on the main user interface or anywhere else!!!
I have recently had to rebuild my system after a motherboard failure, but that shouldn't be the reason. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit and want to have a nonstop backup to a second drive on my computer (which is NTFS formattted).

Muzzman,

When you say you have ATI 11, do you mean ATI v11 or ATI 2011? NSB exists with 2011 only. V11 is not certified on Windows 7.

Acronis® True Image Home® version 11.0 (build 8,101) but on the site it shows Acronis True Image 11 Home (English) 1 license(s). Ok, so I guess we don't have NSB. Thanks for the info. The version / product naming is quite confusing!

What about Acronis True Image Home 2010? - I also have a licence for that

ATI 2010 features NSB

Note: if you use NSB, make sure you create a backup backup. NSB might not meet your expectations and is less flexible (retention rules, clean-up, corruption risks, etc.)
