Don't want scheduled backups
I don't want any backups unless I initiate them. Acronis 14 runs by itself (schedules it's own run times) without my intervention but will not run if I've changed the services nonstop backup and the service scheduler 2 to not run at startup. I can go to Search -> service and manually make the change but that lasts only so long as I don't need to back up my disks.
Acronis is a pretty elegant piece of software otherwise. Surely there is an elegant way to stop these backups without having to get into 'Services' manually. Some switch perhaps?

Yes, 2014 is different than before but you you CAN successfully create a task which is non-scheduled --example GH3 below.
If a task schedule needs changing, then links GH1 or GH2 shows how.
My signature link 2-A can also be of assistance.
GH1. How to change a backup task from scheduled to "Do Not Schedule".
GH2. How to enable a backup task schedule or change a schedule time..
GH3. How to create a non-scheduled backup task on the first try.
GH4. Illustrate Manual Backup Now option or Repeat backups.
GH5. How to delete backup files using Acronis Backup 'Explorer'
