Access backup logs from app?

Thread needs solution

I've been a long time Acronis user and every version I used in the past prior to 2016 provided the ability to view the backup logs from the application GUI. However, much to my dismay, Acronis True Image 2016 did NOT provide this VERY BASIC feature. The response from Acronis is "set up a notification and have the logs emailed to you or mine the very obscure system logs"??? REALLY, how on earth is that an acceptable option???

My question is, does Acronis True Image 2017 provide the ability to view backup logs thru the app? If not, there is NO WAY I'm giving Acronis my money for this version.

Thanks.

Neither 2016 nor 2017 allow viewing of the logs. This complaint has been registered by several of the MVPs with Acronis but so far the feature has not been added. You can use the  Log File Viewer App Version 2.2 Update | Acronis Forum developed by MVP FtrPilot.

Thanks Tom for providing that link! I was not aware that someone created a tool to view the logs.

Just can't believe that Acronis thought that removing this functionality from the app made any sense what so ever???
