Operation Manual

4.4.1 Backup operations menu

The backup operations menu provides quick access to additional operations that can be performed

with the selected backup.

The backup operations menu can contain the following items:

 Edit settings - allows editing of the current backup settings.

 Reconfigure (for backups manually added to the backup list) - allows configuring the settings of a

backup created by a previous Acronis True Image version. This item may also appear for backups

created on another computer and added to the backup list without importing their settings.

Without backup settings, you cannot refresh the backup by clicking Back up now. Also, you

cannot edit and clone the backup settings.

 Reconfigure (for online backups) - allows you to bind a selected online backup to the current

computer. To do this, click this item and reconfigure settings of the backup. Note that only one

online backup can be active on one computer.

 Validate - starts backup validation.

 Open location - opens the folder containing the backup files.

 Clone settings - Creates a new empty backup box with the settings of the initial backup and

named (1) [the initial backup name]. Change the settings, save them, and then click Back up

now on the cloned backup box.

 Move - click to move all the backup files to another location. The subsequent backup versions

will be saved to the new location.

If you change the backup destination by editing the backup settings, only new backup versions

will be saved to the new location. The earlier backup versions will remain in the old location.

 Remove from the list - removes the current backup from the backup list shown in the My

backups area. This operation also turns off the scheduling of the removed backup (if a schedule

was set), but it does not delete the backup files.

 Delete - depending on a backup type, this command completely deletes the backup from its

location or allows you to choose whether you want to delete the backup completely or the

backup box only. When you delete a backup box, the backup files remain in the location, and you

will be able to add the backup to the list later. Note that when you delete a backup completely,

the deletion cannot be undone.
