If you decide to keep old backups (by not selecting the Remove old archives box) and creation of a new full backup results in violation(s) of the limits set for automatic consolidation, the program will use the following algorithm: 1) if the actual number of backups exceeds the maximum number of backups, the program automatically consolidates the old full backup with the oldest incremental (differential) one to correct this quota violation; 2) if after correcting the number of backups limit violation there remains other quota violation(s), the program consolidates the oldest backup to correct the storage period of old backups limit violation (if possible - otherwise it deletes the old full backup); 3) if after correcting the storage period of old backups limit violation there remains the archive size limit violation, the program consolidates the old full backup with the oldest incremental (differential) one, then will repeat consolidation (if necessary and possible); 4) if after consolidating all the previous backups the archive size quota violation remains, the old backup archive will be deleted in order to correct the violation; 5) if the new full backup file size exceeds the archive size limit, the program will record a warning into the logs. 5.2.5 Source files exclusion This step will be present only for the My Computer and My Data backup types. It enables you to exclude unnecessary files from your backup in case when you just want to exclude some file types without creating custom categories. You can exclude hidden or system files and folders, as well as files matching the criteria you specify. You can add your own criteria by clicking Add. While adding criteria, you can use the common Windows wildcard characters and type several criteria in the same line separating them by semicolons. For example, to exclude all files with .gif and .bmp extensions, you may type *.gif;*.bmp. One more thing - if, for example, you want to exclude all the files with the name of test regardless of their extension, you should specify exclusion criteria such as test.*, otherwise 30 Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Acronis.

If you decide to keep old backups (by not selecting the
Remove old archives
box) and
creation of a new full backup results in violation(s) of the limits set for automatic
consolidation, the program will use the following algorithm:
1) if the actual number of backups exceeds the maximum number of backups, the program
automatically consolidates the old full backup with the oldest incremental (differential) one
to correct this quota violation;
2) if after correcting the number of backups limit violation there remains other quota
violation(s), the program consolidates the oldest backup to correct the storage period of old
backups limit violation (if possible - otherwise it deletes the old full backup);
3) if after correcting the storage period of old backups limit violation there remains the
archive size limit violation, the program consolidates the old full backup with the oldest
incremental (differential) one, then will repeat consolidation (if necessary and possible);
4) if after consolidating all the previous backups the archive size quota violation remains, the
old backup archive will be deleted in order to correct the violation;
5) if the new full backup file size exceeds the archive size limit, the program will record a
warning into the logs.
