The backup versions are similar to file versions. The file versions concept is familiar to those who use

a Windows Vista and Windows 7 feature called "Previous versions of files". This feature allows you to

restore a file as it existed on a particular date and time. A backup version allows you to recover your

data in a similar way.

This could be useful when trying to find damaged or deleted files. Simply browse through the backup

versions in the Acronis Backup Explorer until you find the backup version containing the required

files. Additionally, you can recover different saved versions of found files.

Backup boxes

All your backups are represented as rectangles on the main window. These rectangles are called

backup boxes. A backup box contains all the main information about the corresponding backup and

provides you full control over this backup. Every time you want to create a new backup version,

recover your data or change backup settings, just find the required backup box and click the

appropriate button or link.

Nonstop backup file format

Acronis Nonstop Backup uses a special storage for data and metadata. This storage is a hidden folder

named Time Explorer Storage. This folder contains auxiliary files (for example, config.xml,

cdp.metadata) and your backed up data. The data is compressed and split into files of about 1 GB (for

example, cdp.data, cdp2.data, cdp3.data, and so on). These files also have a proprietary format and

the data they contain can be recovered only with the help of True Image Lite 2013.

Nonstop backup consolidation

Consolidation allows you to delete unneeded backup versions, without risking backup chain

corruption.

Acronis Nonstop Backup performs consolidation automatically. The program consolidates the

metadata it uses for managing the backed up data. Because the metadata information volume is

significantly less than the backed up data volume, consolidation requires much less time and system

resources.

Online backup schedule

For your backups to be really helpful, they must be as "up-to-date" as possible. True Image Lite 2013

automatically creates backup versions every hour. If you want to back up your data more often, you

can always run the backup manually. Your data will be backed up as long as there is sufficient storage

space.

Understanding these terms and concepts will be helpful when using the program's features.
