Delaying backup

Thread needs solution

Acronis TI Home 2011, Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
I know that I can delay a new backup by 2-4-6 hours be suing drop down arrow to right of Backup Now but after doing the initial backup, I can't seem to locate that same option on the main page when I am ready to choose that backup for an incremental. Am I missing something?? Thanks. Dave

You are not. Once the backup is set, the backup now is really now.

Doesn't seem to make sense. I can delay the original backup but not subsequent incrementals? Since this is for a laptop using an external HD, scheduling is also difficult. I just want to be able to set my incremental to happen every now and then after I go to bed. :(
Thanks. Dave

David,

You could use Windows task scheduler to schedule your ATI backups instead of ATI's scheduler. The Windows task scheduler offer more fine grained options to randomize a backup time around a target time and/or computer conditions.
