If you have not used previous versions of Acronis True Image Home, we recommend you become
familiar with the above features by going through the steps required for completing backup, recovery
and data synchronization.
After you begin using Acronis True Image Home 2012, it will start with displaying the tab that was selected
when you exited the program.
1.4.2 Backup and recovery tab
The Backup and recovery tab provides quick access to all of the program functionality related to data
backup and recovery.
If you have not created any backups yet, the program will offer to create a new backup or add an
existing backup. If you have at least one backup, the screen will display the list of your backups.
The toolbar
See the toolbar commands description in Backup toolbar (p. 21).
The backups area
The area shows the backups you already have. It provides access to all operations with the existing
backups and allows you to start recovery of your data.
 Back up now - adds a new backup version to the existing backup or replaces the existing backup
version, depending on the backup scheme being used.
 Start (available for a nonstop backup only) - starts nonstop backup protection.
