Using PC while backing up
Hi to all!
It's several years I've been using Acronis True Image and I'm really satisfied, since it allows me to save and recover easily my PC in case of disaster. (SCRATCH SCRATCH...)
Just wondering: since I always make my backups "live", when the operating system is running, but I don't use it, what happens if instead I use it and make "big" changes, like installing/uninstalling programs, use programs that write a big amount of data on the hard disk, and so on?
How does True Image take into account these changes?

Hi! Thanks for your answer.
However, what I wondered is just how TrueImages handles changes during backup.
For example, let's suppose I uninstall a program while backup is finishing. Does TrueImage include this change?

With the snapshot technology, the backup contains the information on the disk as it was at the beginning of the backup. If you uninstall an application during the backup, the backup will not reflect these changes.

ATI keeps track of the sectors with a bitmap that it makes of the disk when a backup starts -- so it "knows" what to put in the backup and what to put on the original disk. It's a technology that Acronis bought from or by acquiring another company -- I forget the name ata the moment .
