backup frequency option not remembered

Thread needs solution

I prefer to have no scheduled backups, however if I reboot Acronis does not remember my selection and I see that my see that my option has reverted to "daily". Then my external hard drive fills up unnecessarily with incremental and maybe full backups. Is there a way I can retain my back option?

Yes, you can save a task as non-scheduled so the only backup you create are those you do yourself manually via the "Back Up Now" option, but to do so,
it takes a little more finesse. This link shows you how. Accepting a scheduled task is not necessary. Make your task non-scheduled to begin with using this illustration.

Review this link. Look at example GH-12 if you want to use full plus incremental.

Backups are created via the backup task so what is important is what options you select before you save the task,
so when you manually run the task, it will use the options you selected during the task creation which you saved via the "later" save option.
