Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup and for recovering files from your backup archives. Here's

how you can search for the data you need.

Backup window and then click the magnifying glass icon. You will be taken to the Data recovery

and backup management screen. The search results are output in the corresponding tab of the

window.

2. By default the search is performed in all the sources where Acronis True Image OEM Quick

Backup can search information. You can select an information source of interest by choosing the
