Backup Explorer missing

Thread needs solution

I followed the Help instructions for selected file backups I made of MyDocuments folder, and you will note that I have 10 versions listed in attachment, for the "My Documents 2012-01-19" file backup. The gear is suppose to show me Backup Explorer as an option so I can recover specific older files; but it does not appear. Note that all my backups are stored on a LG Network Storage drive that I have mounted as a share drive (password protected).

I am running Win XP. Also, whatever version I am to open, it always shows the newest/latest version?? What is wrong? Please help. Thanks [ attachment includes view of Backup and Recovery tab, and MyExplorer view on my LG network drive files.]

Hi Joe,
First select the image you wish to recover files from. This makes the image browse-able (not to be confused with mounting). Now the interface changes and an explorer windows wil open. Here you can select individual files or directories to recover. You are able to recover to the files original location, a new location or specify an absolute path. Next you select the destination disk. Some aditional option might be availible. Then "Proceed".

JoeD,

In a addition to what Shadowsports has correctly suggested as one method to restore a file, etc. To see your time slice of backups,

RIGHT click on the task name which has the 10 backups "My Documents 2012-01-19" See if you have a "Explore & Recover" option.

Other: My personal recommendation is that any task have its own folder for backup storage. I would not use a single backup folder for several tasks. Acronis says you can but too many reports of issues so only use 1 folder per task.  You can put them into different sub-folders within one folder just keep the backup files separated.
