Chapter 7. Scheduling tasks

Acronis True Image Server for Linux allows you to schedule periodic backup tasks. Doing so

will give you peace of mind, knowing that your data are safe.

You can create more than one independently scheduled task. For example, you can back up

your current project daily and back up the application disk once a week.

All the scheduled tasks appear in the Active Tasks area of the main window. You can start,
stop, edit, delete and rename the scheduled tasks.

Creating scheduled tasks

1. To invoke the Schedule Task Wizard, click on its icon on the Active Tasks toolbar or

select Operations -> Schedule Task from the main menu.

2. Click Next.

3. Configure a backup task in the usual way (see

X Window System). If you choose to create the backup archive on a network drive, you will

have to enter a user name and a password for network access.

4. Set the task execution periodicity.

Do not start automatically – the task will be saved, but not launched automatically. You will

be able to launch it later by clicking the start button on the Active Tasks pane

• Daily – the task will be executed once a day or once in several days
