Backup to another PC over Network - Archive Integrity?
Hi,
up to now I used Acronis True Image Home 2009, but now I'm upgrading to Windows 7 and am interested in Acronis True Image Home 2012.
I have 3 PCs used by 3 different persons. I want to back up data of each PC not on the same PC, but on a different one over the network. For this I want to use an incremental backup which is scheduled daily.
The possible problem here is that the target PC might by shut down while a backup from a source PC is still running. What happens in such a case?
Might the backup archive be corrupted? Or can Acronis resume the backup with the last not successfully stored file?
Regards,
Christian

Hi,
so, if a backup with daily schedule aborts once, it will not be started again next day (Assuming that the target PC is online again)?
How about a "Pull" approach: Acronis is running on the target PC and backs up data from a source PC over the network. Same possible problem, this time the source PC might go offline. What would happen in that case?

Yes, the task will run again the following day, but it will run as if the previous backup that failed had not happened at all.
A pull approach will have the same issues. Also note that the pull backup will only work for file-based backups, not system protection.
