If you select in Windows Explorer several files in the same folder and then choose Back Up in the

shortcut menu, the backup file gets the name of the folder with appended date, e.g. My

Documents_mm_dd_yyyy.tib.

If you select in Windows Explorer two or more folders and then choose Back Up in the shortcut

menu, the backup file gets the name of the parent folder or disk letter (when you selected folders in

the root directory) with appended date, e.g. My Documents_mm_dd_yyyy.tib or C_mm_dd_yyyy.tib.

6) When you rename backups on the Data recovery and backup management screen, a backup is

renamed only in the program's metadata database; however, backup file names on the disk remain

unchanged.

3.4 Viewing disk and partition information

You can change the way data is represented in all schemes you see in various wizards.

The header may have up to three icons: Columns, Arrange Icons by and Disk properties, the latter

duplicated in the context menu opened by right-clicking objects.

To sort messages by a particular column, click the header (another click will switch the messages to

the opposite order) or the Arrange Icons by button and select the column.

To select which columns to view, right-click the headers line or left-click the Columns button. Then

flag the columns you want to display. When left-clicking the Columns button, you can also change

the display order of columns using the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

If you click the Disk properties button, you will see the selected partition or disk properties window.

This window contains two panels. The left panel contains the properties tree and the right describes

the selected property in detail. The disk information includes its physical parameters (connection

type, device type, size, etc.); partition information includes both physical (sectors, location, etc.), and

logical (file system, free space, assigned letter, etc.) parameters.

You can change the width of a column by dragging its borders with the mouse.

3.5 Booting from system image tib files

Users of the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 can now test whether they will be able to

boot from the recovered system partition. Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup allows booting

from a tib file containing a system partition image. So if you are able to boot from such backup, you

almost certainly will be able to boot after an actual system recovery from that backup. When you

choose a tib file to boot from, Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup creates a temporary vhd file by

converting this tib file, so your hard disk must have enough free space for storing it. Then the

program adds a new item to the Windows boot loader list. When you select the tib file in the boot

loader list, your computer will actually boot from that temporary vhd file. After testing the

bootability of the tib file, you can remove the file from the boot loader list and delete the temporary

vhd file, though you can keep it.
