Minimizing Acronis' footprint (how to run it only on demand?)
Acronis, when inactive, takes about 5% of my CPU cycles every few seconds. I wish to not have any of Acronis installed at boot-up in order to avoid that, since I back-up only every few days and rarely need to load the disk image or do a restore.
What steps can I take to prevent any Acronis components from loading during boot-up, and what do I need to put into a .bat file so that I can load Acronis manually when I need it?
I saw a suggestion elsewhere in these forums (http://forum.acronis.com/forum/36728) that in order to run Acronis manually it necessary to use the recover disk to start -- which I really hope isn't the case. I hope this complication isn't necessary, and that there is a way to start Acronis manually from materials that are already on my hard drive, and have its full functionality (except the scheduler, which I never use).
Hoping for your help and advice on this.

I haven't tried this, but I suppose you could make a Windows CMD file (W7/8/8.1) and perform a netstart - command on each of the Acronis Services, I think you would have to have them all set for manual start, but I seem to recall that scheduler doesn't work well when set to manual start.
Of course you'd also need a CMD file with netstop - entries for the services as well.
