Restore absolute path?

Thread needs solution

In 2018 there was an option to restore files with their complete path. For example, if I backed up

c:\fligy\foogle\honk.txt

I could restore just the file honk.txt into any directory I wanted. I'd wind up with

c:\lumpkin\barno\honk.txt

If that's what I wanted. If, on the other hand, I wanted to preserve the original path I could check that option and wind up with

c:\c\fligy\foogle\honk.txt

There were times when I've found that handy, especially if the files path were deep.

Is that option gone now?

From the 2019 documentation section 5.2 Recovering Files and Folders:

1. Start Acronis True Image 2019.

2. On the sidebar, click Backup.

3. From the backup list, select the backup which contains the files or folders that you want to recover, and then open the Recovery tab.

4. Select backup version (data state on specific date and time).

5. Select the files and folders that you want to recover, and then click Next.

6. Select a destination on your computer to where you want to recover selected files/folders. You can recover data to its original location or choose a new one, if necessary. To choose a new location, click the Browse button.
When you choose a new location, the selected items will be recovered by default without recovering the original, absolute path. You may also wish to recover the items with their entire folder hierarchy. In this case select the Keep the original folder structure check box.

7. When needed, set the options for the recovery process (recovery process priority, file-level security settings, etc.). To set the options, click Recovery options. The options you set here will be applied only to the current recovery operation.

8. To start the recovery process, click the Recover now button.
You can stop the recovery by clicking Cancel. Please keep in mind that the aborted recovery may still cause changes in the destination folder.

 

Looks like absolute path still exists.
