How to review my backup task before running it
I downloaded the Trial version. I want to know how to review/double check, the Source and Destination of a previously created backup task before launching it.

I'm using the same version - and, I believe, have the same question. Either the software is not working as you suggest, or I'm doing something wrong.
I have a saved backup - which is configured with select "Files and Folders". I ran the backup once and it looks like it ran fine.
I would like to now review the selected files and folders, possibly to make changes, before the backup runs next.
If I hightlight the saved backup job - and then click on the "Change Source" tile in the main window, it only shows that the C: drive is selected. It does NOT show the folders that I had selected for the backup (and that were actually backed-up).
How can I see which folders were selected in the saved backup?

Please see post: 126983: Acronis True Image 2017 Patch 5555 is available! which has a fix for the specific problem you are seeing.
- files previously selected for backup are not marked as selected when editing backup source

It works perfectly now with the 5555 patch, Steve. Thanks for the quick response! I'm off to purchase my license now that everything is working as expected.
Seeing that this patch was apparently released 4 months ago, I'm surprised it hasn't made it's way into the installer for the demo download yet. Assuming the demo version would be the "latest-greatest" to convince people to buy the software, I was about ready to throw in the towel and demo competing products before discovering this forum.

Glad to hear the patch works for you. This will be included when Acronis release the next build version for the standard version (that you are trialling) which is expected in the next few weeks.
Acronis have been focussing on their ATIH 2017 New Generation version release which adds in Premium features and which is Subscription only and starts at build 6116 but where this issue is fixed already.

It seems the patch has fixed the problem I originally posted.
Thanks Steve!
