The complete image contains all disk information, so it needs a lot of space.  

An incremental image only contains information changed since the last time an image was 

created, so it is usually smaller and takes less time to create. 

Thus, if you are creating an image of this disk or partition for the first time, or if you have 
made a lot of changes to the disk since your last image, the complete image is 

recommended. 

If you recently created a complete image, we recommend that you create incremental 

images. If image archive is stored on removable media, e.g. CD, insert the last CD and then 

follow instructions of the Create Image Wizard. 

On this stage, you can specify whether the program should create a single image file or split 

it into several files.  

If you select Automatic, Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux will try to determine 

image size itself. If there’s enough space on the hard disk you specified, a single file will be 

created.  

Otherwise the program will warn you about space limitations and await your decision. You 

can free some space on a partition and continue image creation, or stop Acronis True Image 

Server 8.0 for Linux, free enough space and begin the image creation again.
