6.2.3 Searching for specific items in mailboxes and public folders

The search allows you to find specific items (such as e-mails, notes, contacts, tasks, and more) within

the selected mailbox or public folder for recovery. The search is performed within the item selected

in the backup contents tree (for the Archive view (p. 32)). To make the search faster, you can narrow

the selection going deeper to the tree (such as particular mailbox or folder rather than entire

database).

1. In the Search in, select the required items to search:

 E-mails

 Contacts

 Public folder items

 Notes

 Calendar items

 Tasks

 Journal entries

2. In the search strings, type the information that helps to identify the required items (for e-mails, it

can be an e-mail address in To or From fields). You can use the asterisks (*) and question marks

(?) wildcards.

3. Click Search.

4. Then, in the Search results, you will see the list of found backed up items whose names fully or

partially coincide with the entered values. If the list of matches is too long, you can refine the

search criteria by narrowing down the date range and run the search once again.

5. When the required data is found, select it and click OK to return to the Archive view.

6.2.4 Point in time selection

In the Point in time selection window, you specify the point in time to recover the data to. This

window is displayed, when you click Custom point in time on the Data view (p. 31) tab, or click

Recover to a custom point in time on the Archive view (p. 32) tab.

To select a point in time to recover the data to

1. In the calendar, select the date that is covered by full or transaction log backups. Such dates are

marked in bold.

2. In Transaction log coverage, select the time range that includes the time you need to recover the

data to.

Selecting the zero length time range means that the data will be recovered from the full backup.

Selecting the time range in the list means that the data will be recovered from transaction log

backup.

3. The Recover to field automatically sets the time according to the time range selected previously.

If you are satisfied with the suggested time, click OK.

Otherwise, specify the desired point in time to recover the data to. Acronis Backup automatically

finds the transaction log file (in the transaction log backups) which includes the specified point in

time, and recovers the data to the time of this transaction log file creation. If there are no log

files that include the specified time, Acronis Backup will offer the nearest point from the

transaction log file backed up before the specified time.
