how to schedule weekly image backup

Thread needs solution

Acronis 2016 I know how to schedule a file&folder backup, but I cannot figure out how to schedule a weekly image backup to an external usb2 drive. My plan is to mount the drive every friday night before I go home then eject it on Monday morning when I come back.

On the scheduler page, choose the weekly opton and then select the specific day of the week so it is hightlighted along the top row.
Then choose the time/hour you want the backup to run.

check this link. It should help.

If you want your backup to be able to create a replacment system disk, choose the backup type "Entire PC"

Several times I tried to get to the scheduling page by clicking Options, but NOTHING happened.

Finally, I called tech support. We eventually discovered that I was not being patient enough. When I click on Option, nothing happens for 20 seconds then the options appear. There is supposed to be a "please wait" message, but sometimes it does not get displayed. Possibly a bug ???

A little embarrassing, but I feel that the missing Please Wait message compounded my problems.

anyway, the problem is solved, so I am closing this problem
