Operation Manual

By default, this option is turned off. Acronis True Image Home 2012 starts to store versions of synced

files from the moment you turn this option on.

All versions are stored in the Acronis Online storage which is accessible via the Internet. To use the

Acronis online storage, you must have a subscription to the Online Backup service. If you do not have

a subscription, a trial subscription with 250 GB of storage space will be automatically provided. See

details in Subscription information.

To delete obsolete versions, you can set automatic cleanup rules. See detains in Cleanup options for

sync versions (p. 120).

When you turn off the option of storing versions, all the versions except the latest one are deleted from the

server.

If you use a trial version of Acronis True Image Home 2012, all the stored versions including the latest one are

deleted from the server when the trial period expires.

Each user turns the option on and manages file versions independently of other users. If you sync

some data with a friend who uses different Acronis account, you decide for yourself whether you

want to turn the option on or not. Version storages allocated on the server are also separate.

5.5.1 Reverting to a previous file version

If you store sync history in the online storage, you can revert the current version of a synchronized

file to its previous version. This is useful when you want to undo some undesirable sync operation.

To revert to a previous file version:

1. Log in to your Acronis account.

2. On the Synchronization tab of the main screen, find the sync box with the needed file, click the

gear icon, and then click View versions.

3. On the time line of Time Explorer, select the version to which you want to rollback. The version's

exact date and time will be displayed near the sync name. Your current version will be reverted

to the state it was at that point in time.

4. Select the corresponding check boxes of the files and folders you want to revert to (see selection

rules in Files and folders tab (p. 28)). Short information about the selected items (their number

and total size) will be displayed near the Download button.

5. Click Download to proceed.

When reverting, you may save the selected version to the same location or to a new one:

 If you save the selected version to the same location, this version becomes your current one.

Because of this change, the synchronization process will start and the selected version will

become the current one in all other locations synchronized with your folder. No versions will be

lost.

 If you save the selected version to a new location, no data in your synced folder will be changed.

This action does not affect the other locations synchronized with your folder.
