Does online backup always do a full backup?
I have acronis online backup as a part of acronis backup and security 2010. I have just configured my online backup schedule to take a backup mon, wed, sat at 16.00(4pm). My question is this.. Will acronis online backup at every schedule take a FULL backup of all files or will it take a backup of only new and changed files? I know the first backup is full.
The reason I wonder is because I have 3 computers and one full backup from one of them at max internet speed (1.2mb pr sec) it will take around 8 hours. Multiply that whit 3 computers and 3 times a week, well my internet connection will be constant in use and unusable for me to do anything but take backups.

i'd keep a local copy of the image also. dont forget, you've got to wait for the download if you need the image in a hurry!

I scheduled 1 backup per week. It appears that a full backup is made and also the week after again a full backup is made instead of incrementals. So my extern disk is quickly full. What I want is once a full backup is made, the next should be only an incremental. I have tried different times. The backups are 2 times fully backups and then incrementals. I thought that once the original backup is made, the next ones will only be incrementals. And after a number of incrementals the original back-up will be replaced, so that only ONE FULLY original is left.

Ingrid, it doesn't sound like you have correctly configured the Backup scheme options for the type of backups that you are wanting to use. Please see the Best Practices Forum for lots of excellent information and guides on how to correctly configure the different backup options, in particular, Grovers Accumulated Wisdom articles which has lots of illustrations showing how the different options work.
If you need further assistance, please open a new post in your own right and provide details of which specific version of Acronis True Image you are using so that your questions don't get lost in a different users posts on a different subject.
