Saving backups without running them immediately

Thread solved

I've been using Acronis for many years and one of the many things I find extremely annoying about the latest versions is that I cannot seem to configure any backups that I don't want to run immediately.

By that I mean I select the source and the destination, select "Do Not Schedule" and when I try to close the window I get the bizarre popup that my current settings will be lost.

There must be a way to do this...

To do what you want here, you need to complete setting the new task options then click on the arrow at the side of the Backup now button which will show further options to delay the backup operation, including the option to Backup later, which you should use.

Thanks so much--that was driving me nuts.
