Backup Newbie

Thread needs solution

Hi

I have Acronis True Image Home 2010.

What is the best way to semi-automate a file backup of my PC's second hard disk?

That is; is there a way to create a desk-top icon which will perform the same backup in background so to speak?

Thanks..

You can start a backup from a scheduled task; or by clicking start on a specific task; or from a user created desktop shortcut.

Any of the 3 will run in the background and you can use your computer while a backup is being created. The contents of the backup will be a snapshot of its content at the start of backup.

And of course you can schedule a backup to run at your convenience.

Should you have a need to restore your system to a new or larger drive, the type backup that offers the most choices when restoring is a backup which includes all partitions on the system disk. With that type backup, you can perform limited or full and complete restores. There are other choices but in my opinion, this choice offers the easiest method to recovery to a new disk.
