4.6.2 Backup activity and statistics
On the Activity tab and the Backup tab, you can view additional information on a backup, such as
backup history and file types the backup contains. The Activity tab contains a list of operations
performed on the selected backup starting from its creation, the operation statuses, and statistics.
This comes in handy when you need to find out what was happening to the backup in background
mode, for example the number and statuses of scheduled backup operations, size of backed-up data,
results of backup validation, etc.
When you create the first version of a backup, the Backup tab displays a graphical representation of
the backup content by file types.

For differential and incremental versions, it is usually less than the Data to recover, because
in this case Acronis True Image 2021 additionally uses data from the previous versions for
recovery.
For disk-level backups, Acronis True Image 2021 calculates the size of the hard drive sectors
that contain data to back up. Because sectors may contain hard links to the files, even for full
