 Automatically recover files after blocking a process – Though a process was blocked, there is
still a possibility that your files were modified. If this check box is selected, Acronis True
Image 2021 recovers the files as follows.
Acronis True Image 2021 searches the following locations for the latest file versions to
recover.
 Temporary file copies that were preliminarily created during the process verification
 Local backups
 Cloud backups
If Acronis True Image 2021 finds a good temporary copy, the file is restored from that copy. If
temporary file copies are not suitable for restore, Acronis True Image 2021 searches for
backup copies locally and in the cloud, compares the creation dates of the copies found in
both locations, and restores your file from the latest available unmodified copy.
Note Acronis True Image 2021 does not support file recovery from password-protected backups.
