Operation Manual

Enter a search string into the Search field at the top right of the Acronis True Image 2014 window.

You will be taken to the Acronis Backup Explorer screen. The program shows search results.

By default Acronis True Image 2014 performs the search in all the sources where it can search

information. That is, it searches files in all backups and their versions on all local storage devices.

Acronis True Image 2014 cannot perform search on network shares, Acronis Cloud, and devices that are

recognized by Windows as Devices with removable storage.

The screen shows results of searches for files and folders in tib backups. Double-clicking on a

filename opens the file. You can recover the file by right-clicking on its filename and choosing

Recover in a shortcut menu. This shortcut menu also enables you to open the file or view its versions.

When searching files in backups you can type all or part of the filename and use the common

Windows wildcard characters. For example, to find all batch files in the backups, type "*.bat". Typing

my???.exe will allow you to find all .exe files with names consisting of five symbols and starting with

"my". It should be noted that search is case-insensitive, i.e. "Backup" and "backup" is the same

search string.

When a file is included in several backups and it has been modified, the search results will show the

number of file versions in the appropriate column.

Please note that Acronis True Image 2014 does not search files in encrypted and password-protected tib

backups nor in the password-protected Acronis Secure Zone. In addition, the program does not search files in zip

backups created by Acronis True Image 2014.
