Nonstop Backup - How to monitor Backup remotely

Hello Jürgen,

Welcome to our Forum, we're glad to greet you here. Thank you for your question, I'll be glad to address it.

Getting daily log is generally possible in Acronis True Image Home - it can be sent to you via e-mail. Unfortunately, this feature is not available for NonStop Backup. It would be good to have it, so I have forwarded the enhancement request to the Development team, they will look into the possibility of including it into the next release.

I would advise you to schedule several backup during the day, and set e-mail notifications. Thus you will be aware of the job status and will be able to immediately react in case of any difficulties.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you.

Hello Yana,

thank you for your advise - that bringts me to an other question:
can i do a combination of scheduled backup by night (for getting a log) and then nonstop backup while the pc is used (for having data backed-up nonstop)? Storing the backup to one location - because of saving backup-space.

One general question to nonstop backup: How long does the backup last (how many days in the past / how many file-versions / how many GBs)...
... there must be a limit.

Greetings

Juergen

Absolutely, that's the most reasonable scenario, I think.

It depends, actually, on the settings, machine usage, etc. Here's how it works in general:
NSB creates an initial backup, and then proceeds with creating a snapshot of the machine every 5 minutes, comparing its data with the data that has already been backed up. Should some major changes be made to the drive, it will immediately back them up. If the backup takes more than 5 minutes, then the next snapshot will be created 5 minutes later after the new backup creation.
I understand that this information might not address all your questions, but at least it should provide you with a bit more clear picture of what's going on and how it works.

Let me know if something's confusing you or you have any additional questions, I will be glad to provide you with necessary answers.

Thank you.
