Hello
I am using Acronis Home 2010
Using Win xp Pro

I have a hard disk in a mobile rack that I use to back up my files to from my main hard disk.
I run an incremental backup upon shutdown. When the backup is complete and the computer has shutdown I remove the mobile rack with my backup hard disk in it. If I shut down the computer without the mobile rack containing my spare hard disk I receive a message saying do I want to abort and if not the computer will shutdown in 10 minutes.
If I continue to shut down the pc by clicking on the start button, I get a normal windows message of end program. I have to click 3 of these end now messages.

Is there a way to shorten the 10 minute time when Acroins detects there is no backup medium. I dont want to wait 10 minutes or keep clicking the end program messages.

Thank you,
Ivan

a solution might be:
write a batch script which would generate an error if drive not present such as this one line script.

rackdir.bat
dir x:

then recreate/modify your job to call rackdir.bat as a pretask.
if the drive is not present the pretask aborts instantly, if the pretask aborts the actual task is never attempted so your shutdown occurs without delay.
