Hello Santos,

Thank you for posting. I will definitely assist you with your question.

I would assume that you are using Acronis True Image 2011 Home. You can do it like this with this version:

1. From the disk and partition backup menu click on Disk backup options.

2. Click on Backup scheme and select Custom scheme.

3. For the Backup method select incremental.

4. Check - Create a full version after every 6 incremental versions. You can also click on Automatic consolidation settings to adjust the amount of backups that will be cleaned up according to your environment.

5. Click Ok and next to Schedule click on Turn on.

6. Select a daily backup and adjust the time.

I would recommend setting up this task on Friday, so that it creates a full backup on that day. With the incremental backup option, our software scans the backup location and creates a full backup by default if it does not find any. Then it continues with the incremental backups. You can read more about this on page 37 of our User Guide available here.

Just in case, you can also take a look at this KB article for setting up a backup to a network share. I have also attached 2 screenshots that show options from 1-6.

If you have additional questions, please let me know.

Thank you.

Santos,

I want incremental backup in every weekdays

Are you wanting to include Saturday and Sunday; if no, what is the status of the computer on those daiys. Is it up and running or is it powered down?
