4.7.1 Pending operations

Almost all the operations are considered pending before you commit them. Until then, Acronis Disk

Director will only demonstrate the new volume structure that will result from the operations,

planned to be performed on disks and volumes.

This approach enables you to control all planned operations, double-check the intended changes,

and, if necessary, undo operations before they are executed.

All pending operations are added to the pending operations list that can be viewed in the Pending

operations window.

To view and commit pending operations

1. On the toolbar, click Commit pending operations.

2. In the Pending operations window, view and examine the list of pending operations.

3. Click Proceed to execute the operations. You will not be able to undo any operations after you

choose to proceed the operation.

To quit the Pending operations window without committing, click Cancel.

If you try to exit Acronis Disk Director while there are pending operations that are not yet

committed, you will be asked whether you want to commit them. Quitting the program without

committing the pending operations effectively cancels them.

4.7.2 Undoing pending operations

Any pending operation can be undone or redone.

To undo the latest pending operation in the list

do any of the following:

 Click the Undo button on the toolbar

 Press Ctrl + Z

Undoing an operation results in canceling one or more pending operations. While the list is

populated, this action is available.

To redo the last pending operation that was undone

do any of the following:

 Click the Redo button on toolbar

 Press Ctrl + Y

4.8 Log

The Log stores the history of operations performed on the machine using Acronis Disk Director. For

instance, when you create a new volume, the respective entry is added to the log. With the log, you

can examine information about disk and volume operations, including reasons any for failures.

Physically, a log is a collection of XML files stored on the machine.

Operations performed using bootable media are logged as well, but the log’s lifetime is limited to a

current session. Rebooting eliminates the log, but you can save the log to a file while the machine is

booted with the media.
