You can collapse and expand the backup box by clicking the triangle near a backup name.
Operations menu
Clicking the gear icon in the box of a selected backup or right-clicking in the free area of the box
opens an Operations menu containing the following items:
 View log - click to open the log for the current backup.
 Expand - expands the selected backup box (available for collapsed boxes).
 Collapse - collapses the selected backup box into a narrow stripe (available for expanded boxes).
 Explore and recover - opens the Backup Explorer window, where you can select any version of
the backup.
 Open location - opens the folder containing the backup files.
 Edit settings - allows editing of the current backup settings.
 Recreate backup settings (available only for backups manually added to the backup list) - allows
configuring the settings for image, file, and e-mail backups created by a previous Acronis True
Image Home 2012 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 will be unable to perform certain operations. Specifically, you
cannot refresh the backup by clicking Back up now. Also, you cannot edit and clone the backup
settings and schedule.
 Validate - starts backup validation.
 Delete - deletes all backup versions of the current backup at their location. Be careful, because
the deletion cannot be undone.
 Create shortcut - creates a shortcut on the Desktop. With the shortcut you can run a backup
without starting Acronis True Image Home 2012.
 More - opens the following additional items:
 Consolidate versions - you can delete the backup versions you no longer need while
maintaining the consistency of the backup.
 Clone settings - clones the current backup settings when you need to create several similar
backups. Clone the backup settings and then introduce the required changes.
