What is in a "Files and folders" backup definition?

Thread needs solution

I have a "Files and folders" backup definied.  I want to see what files and folders are included in that definition.  ATI obviously has this information saved somewhere.  Surely there must be a way to display it, but I can't find it  (other than browsing the backup .tib files).  I can redefine the definition via "Change source", but it doesn't show what I am changing from.   Hopefully I'm missing something trivial and obvious (to everybody but me).  Where can I this information?

There's a confirmed bug in this release where once you've selected the files/fodlers to backup and save the backup and then go back in, it does not display what was previously selected. 

It should be listed in the backup script which is located in C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts.  Once you find the right script, look for the section in files such as this example from one of my backups:

<files>
                    <include>D:\04)_All_Software\</include>
                    <include>D:\04)_All_Software\</include>
                    <include>D:\04)_All_Software\</include>
                    <exclude>D:\04)_All_Software\00_Images</exclude>
</files>

 

I filed a bug for this and their support team called my a couple of days ago and said that it will be fixed in an upcoming update that will be released soon. I forgot to ask how soon is soon, but it´s on the Acronis radar. If i recall correctly the issue with sluggish interface when selecting many different files should be adressed in the next update as well.

Thanks for the update.  

If they iron these out and the NAS/mapped drive issue, I'll be pretty happy with things overall.  Only thing I really still wish for is a more intuitive WinPE builder that allows for driver injection during this process (and 32-bit support for WinPE creation since many low-end tablets are strictly 32-bit, but need WinPE for the SATA RAID configuration being set with some of the newer eMMC flash hard drives).

Thanks.  I was afraid I had missed something trivial.

BTW, I missed the responses to my question because I don't get email notifications to my initial post when I start a thread.  (Another place where I fear I have missed somethinf trivial.)  Is there a field for email notifications when starting a thread?  I can find that only in responses (and I don't want to start a new thread just to find out).

 

Nope, it's a bug.  HOwever, there's a patch just released which fixed it for me.  https://kb.acronis.com/node/59095
