How the hell do you back up your PC image without it going berserk and filling up your external drive? I read the entire manual+user forums and still can't get it to do continous auto backups correctly after all the directions/suggestions.

I'm serious, if anybody here has managed to setup acronis true image correctly, please help me. :1zhelp:
 


Can you elaborate a bit? "filling up your externa hard drive" ..well yeah obviously it's gonna take up space?

I'm not going to explain it step by step but there's an option in there if you do incremental backups where you can delete the backup files after either X number of days or after X number of backups.

So for example I have 2 backups setup - one is a full back up once a week that deletes the previous week's backup.

The 2nd backup I have is a daily incremental back up set up to delete and start over once it hits 30 backups. It's all pretty straightforward in the options there so not sure why you're having so much trouble.

Click to expand...

I have it set to do incremental backups everyday and delete them at the end of each week to perform a new full backup, except it's not doing it correctly. I'm not sure why I'm having so much trouble either, but from the looks of their forum I'm not the only one...

I guess I just need to fuck with it until something works.
Acronis support is non-existent.
