How to See the Sources Selected for a Backup

Thread needs solution

How do I quickly see what sources are selected for a backup, without having to use the "Change Source" option to see the selected sources?

There isn't any easy method of seeing the sources without clicking on the 'Source' panel in the main ATI GUI, which you should be able to do then cancel out of again without making any changes.

The only alternative would be to open the C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts folder and open the .tib.tis script XML files found there in Notepad, then look within the data for where the Source is defined.

For a Disk backup, you would see the rather cryptic reference to the disk source selected:

<disk_source has_asz_backup="true" sector_by_sector_backup="false" sector_by_sector_backup_unallocated="false">
<holder strid="\local\hd_gpt(8E348F8B4185C8B30AFF54B08CF23D26)" />
</disk_source>

For a Files backup, then there should be a list of the folders selected etc.

<files>
<include>D:\Cloud</include>
</files>
