Operation Manual

 Type - sorts all syncs according to their types.

Sync list area

The area shows the boxes of the syncs you already have. It provides access to all operations with the

existing syncs.

Versions of synced files

If you turned on the appropriate option while creating or editing a sync, you can view versions of the

synced files and revert the current version of a file to its previous version. To explore all of the

versions, click the gear icon and then click View versions. The program will open the Acronis Time

Explorer. You will be able to explore the existing versions using the time line.

For more information on storing file versions in the online storage, see Versions of synced files.

For more information on using the time line for navigating through versions, see Time line (p. 29).

Operations menu

Clicking the gear icon in the box of a selected sync opens the Operations menu containing the

following items:

 View log - opens the log of Acronis True Image Home 2012 operations.

 Pause - allows you to pause and resume the sync process. Note that the action does not delete

the sync itself and your data will not be lost.

 Sync now - runs data synchronization process forcibly. If a sync process has been interrupted for

some reason (for example, your Internet connection has failed) or it has completed with errors,

you can manually restart the sync process. To do this, first try to resolve the issue and then click

Sync now.

 Rename - allows you to rename the sync.

 Unsync - allows you to break the link between your current computer and an already existing

sync. Note that the action does not delete the sync itself, your data will not be lost.

 Do not store versions online... (Store versions online...) - allows you to stop or start the process

of storing versions of the synced files in Acronis Online Storage. Note that, if you stop storing

versions online, all versions except the last ones will be permanently deleted from the online

storage.

 View versions - allows you to view versions of the synced files.

 Cleanup options - allows you to set automatic cleanup rules for versions of the synced files.

 Invite collaborators... - opens the window where you can specify e-mail addresses of your

friends you want to invite to join the selected sync.

 Set password - select for protecting the synchronization with a password.

 Sync with local folder... - allows you to synchronize the selected folder with a local folder, for

example, located on an external hard drive.

If you delete or rename the folder selected for synchronization, Acronis True Image Home 2012

excludes your computer from that sync. If you delete a subfolder inside the folder you have specified

for synchronization, this subfolder will be deleted on all other computers as well.
