When you back up your data to Acronis Cloud, the first backup may take a considerable amount of time to
complete. Further backup processes will likely be much faster, because only changes to files will be transferred
over the Internet.

When you create a backup, you can change additional options and fine-tune the backup process. To
open the options window, select a source and destination for a backup, and then click Options.
Note that options of each backup type (disk-level backup, file-level backup, online backup, nonstop
backup) are fully independent and you should configure them separately.
