Areca Backup - Limitations

Limitations

  • Areca Backup does not have a built in method of handling automated backup creation for Windows based operating systems. The user is required to configure a backup strategy using an included Wizard, which consequently creates a collection of bat files required to be manually added to the Windows Task Scheduler.
  • Areca Backup does not support VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) and cannot backup files that are locked by other programs, but there are plugins for Areca that do (like ArecaVSS)

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:

    “... art transcends its limitations only by staying within them.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.”
    —Willa Cather (1876–1947)

    “Growing up means letting go of the dearest megalomaniacal dreams of our childhood. Growing up means knowing they can’t be fulfilled. Growing up means gaining the wisdom and skills to get what we want within the limitations imposed by reality—a reality which consists of diminished powers, restricted freedoms and, with the people we love, imperfect connections.”
    —Judith Viorst (20th century)
