I am setting up auto back-up procedures with Acronis.

a) In order that Acronis opens unattended, I assume that it is necessary to suppress the UAC feature in Win 7?.....the "Will you allow this program to change your computer settings?" question. If so, can UAC be selectively suppressed for just Acronis?

b) I will be backing-up three partitions of different size. After backing-up and in order that the PC is automatically closed down, do I schedule the largest partition to be the final in the queue and the one set to close on completion?

Regards.....

Noel,

Regarding UAC, I don't believe that this will be a problem. The UAC is just for elevating your privileges to make changes to the backup settings via the GUI. The actual backup is under the control of a few "services" which are already/always running with elevated privileges. The GUI does not need to run during backup.

Regarding backing up multiple partitions, can you back up all partitions in a single job? It sounds like you're concerned that if you have all three scheduled at the same time, you might finish the one scheduled to shut down before the others have finished.

In any event, ATI will block shutdown while it's working on a backup, much to the annoyance of several users (including me).

I almost wonder if you're bringing to your use of ATI some awkward workarounds learned from other software you've used? Not that ATI is perfect, but I think that if you download the trial and give it a shot, you may find that these issues you raise here aren't necessarily going to be problematic.
