considerable amount of data modified, the process may load CPU for some time. After the check is
done and all the modified data is backed up, Acronis Nonstop Backup goes back to normal.
Can I have Acronis Nonstop Backup storage on an FAT32 partition of a local hard disk? - Yes, you
can. A FAT32 partition can be used as the storage.
Can I set up Acronis Nonstop Backup storage on a network share or NAS? - Yes, Acronis Nonstop
Backup supports network shares, mapped drives, NAS and other network attached devices with one
limitation - they must use the SMB protocol.
How does manual clean up of Acronis Nonstop Backup storage work? - You can clean up Acronis
Nonstop Backup storage by deleting the backed up data for a certain period of time. For example,
you started Acronis Nonstop Backup of your system partition on August 15, 2011. It has been
protecting your partition since that day. Let's suppose that today is December 15, 2011 and your
Acronis Nonstop Backup storage is almost full. You decide to clean up unnecessary data to free up
some storage space. To clean up the storage, click the gear icon in the Nonstop Backup box to open
the Operations menu and then select Clean up.... True Image Lite 2013 displays a window allowing
you to select a period of time for deleting the backup versions created during that period. Let's
suppose that you did not make important changes to the system during a period from September 1
to December 1. Select the period and click OK. The program will delete all backup versions created
during the selected period and consolidate the remaining backup versions to keep their consistency.
Let's consider some cases to explain which data is deleted and which data is kept. First let's consider
a system file, for example, notepad.exe. It was backed up during the initial full backup on August 15
and naturally did not change since then. In this case the file will remain in Nonstop Backup after
clean up. And now suppose you installed a game on September 15, played for some time, and then
uninstalled the game on October 5. In this case all files related to the game will be deleted from
Nonstop Backup. One more example: you started to write your master's thesis using Microsoft Word
on November 16. In this case, all thesis file versions backed up from November 16 to December 1 will
be deleted and only the versions from December 2 to today will remain. To sum up the above, all
data modifications made during the selected period will be lost. All files that did not change since the
initial full backup made on August 15 and all data modifications made before September 1 and after
December 1 will be kept.
