3.11 Adding an existing backup to the list

If you have backups that are not shown in the backups list on the Backup and recovery tab (for

example, backups created by a previous Acronis True Image Home version), you can add them to the

list. Click Browse for backup on the Backup and recovery tab. This opens a window where you can

browse for backups on your computer.

To add an existing backup to the backup list, select the backup and click the Add to backup list

button.

3.12 Deleting backups and backup versions

You may want to delete backups and backup versions you no longer need. True Image 2013 stores

information on the backups in a metadata information database.

Therefore, deleting unneeded backup files in Windows Explorer will not delete information about

these backups from the database, and True Image 2013 will consider that they still exist.

This will result in errors when the program tries to perform operations on the backups that no longer

exist. So you must only remove obsolete backups and backup versions by using the tools provided by

True Image 2013.

To delete an entire backup:

Find the corresponding backup box on the Backup and recovery tab of True Image 2013. Click the

gear icon to open the Operations menu and then click Delete.

When you delete an entire backup, all its versions will be deleted as well.

To delete a specific backup version:

1. On the Backup and recovery tab, find the corresponding backup box and click the Recover

button or click the gear icon and then click Recover files (in case of a disk backup).

2. In Backup explorer, right-click on the time line the version you want to delete, and then click

Delete version.

When you delete a backup version, please remember that this version may have dependent versions.

In this case the dependent versions will be deleted as well, because data recovery from such versions

becomes impossible.

 If you delete a full backup version - the program will also delete all subsequent incremental and

differential versions till the next full version.

 If you delete an incremental backup version or a differential backup version - the program will

also delete all subsequent incremental versions till the next full or differential version.
