
If you schedule a backup to a USB flash drive or validation of a backup that is located on a USB
flash drive, one more check box appears: Run when the current destination device is attached.
Selecting the check box will let you perform a missed operation when the USB flash drive is
attached if it was disconnected at the scheduled time.

If you want to regularly back up data located on a removable media (for example USB flash drive)
or remote storage (for example network folder or NAS), we recommend that you select the Run
when the current source device is attached check box. This is useful because an external storage
device may be often unavailable at the scheduled moment of backup. In that case, if the check
box is selected, the missed backup operation will start when the device is connected or attached.

Run the backup upon HDD alarm (available when Acronis Drive Monitor is installed) – if enabled,
the backup will run as soon as there is an alarm on Acronis Drive Monitor about a potential
problem with one of the hard disks in the backup source. Acronis Drive Monitor is a hard drive
health monitoring utility based on information received from hard drive S.M.A.R.T. reports,
Windows logs, and its own scripts.
