Backup starting on shutdown

Thread needs solution

Hello acronis-team, or user

I have got 2 licenses for Acronis. The first I use on an XP 32bit machine.
Because of the option to run a backup on system shutdown I bought a second license for my Windows 7 64bit Computer.
I found out that the option is not available anymore, without any information from acronis.
Is there an update or a workaround to start the task on shutdown?
Thanks

As a workaround, look at item 4H inside my signature index below. Computer can be shutdown after the backup.

Thanks,
But I need the Start of AcronisTask at shutdown, the workaround gives me just the shutdown after the task.

I need the automated start of Acronis at shutdown, otherwise the user will forget to start the process.

Do you know at least the possibility of creating a Desktop-Icon to start an Acronis task directly , without having to start Acronis manually and select the right task?

Thanks in advance

Hello all,

GroverH, thank you very much for your help.

Detlef, let me shed some light on the issue. Due to some important changes in Windows 7's sleep/shutdown system, we've disabled the feature in Acronis True Image to start a backup task on the system shutdown, we're really sorry for that.

However, our developers are working on the solution and we'll definitely include in the next official releases of Acronis True Image.

Please let me know it you have any additional questions.

Thank you.

Thanks Ilya for the info,

I will wait for next version then to follow my plans.

-In the mean time-
Maybe you can answer this question:

Is there a way to simple start a Acronis-task with an icon on the desktop?

thank you,
Detlef

Sure you can. Piece of cake. A TrueImage task can be run from
a. inside the program
b. Windows scheduled task
c. Windows Shortcut
d. A batch file or cmd file from within a Windows Shortcut

Hello Ilya,

Do you have some information already about a release date for the new Acronis version, which will include the above mentioned feature? (Taskstart at shutdown and shutdown after - like XP-version Acronis 2010)

Thanks alot,

best regards
Detlef

Hello Detlef,

Unfortunately, I can't tell you the time frame when this feature will be implemented. We have a strict company policy that prohibits me from discussing any future products.

Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.

Thank you.
