Proposal for some simple improvements
Hi!
I have been using various versions of True Image over the years and I am currently using ATI 2011 as well as ATI 2018.
When trying out the latest version 2019 and 2020 I still miss some of the functionality available in ATI 2011, as well as some other minor improvements that in my opinion will improve work flow.
- In backup main window
- Be able to see how many backups exists for a specific backup (as in TI2012) – now you only see last backup with date/timestamp
- Be able to see full name of backup and source (in smaller font size) in the Source box in a similar way as for Destination. Now you can hold cursor over box but it would be nice to see full name as standard.
- Be able to see how many backups exists for a specific backup (as in TI2012) – now you only see last backup with date/timestamp
- Adding existing backup(s)
- Remember window size and last folder location when adding existing backups – now you have to relocate same folder every time. This is unnecessary clicks as backups usually are located with in the same folder structure, and quite ften on external NAS/server.
- Be able to locate multiple backups at the same time in same folder – or have TI scan selected folders and to add backups automatically
- Remember window size and last folder location when adding existing backups – now you have to relocate same folder every time. This is unnecessary clicks as backups usually are located with in the same folder structure, and quite ften on external NAS/server.
- Being able to modify setting even if Destination is unavailable
- If Destination for specific backup (e.g. NAS) is not available/online you cannot edit options such as backup scheme. This should be possible even though not connected, e.g. for disabling next scheduled etc. if encountering problems/errors.
- Now you get popup for Connecting or Cancel and then Knowledge Base or Ignore, so there is no way to edit backup settings unless making destination available again.
- As I backup all of my backups to a Synology NAS, and I don't have this NAS on/availble all the time (i.e. just when performing backups), this means that I am not able to change certain settings that should not be dependant on the Destination being available.
- If Destination for specific backup (e.g. NAS) is not available/online you cannot edit options such as backup scheme. This should be possible even though not connected, e.g. for disabling next scheduled etc. if encountering problems/errors.
Just as an input to future development.

I, too, would encourage you to submit Feedback. The more requests Acronis sees, the more likely it is to implement the requests. (And you are not the first to ask for your last request).
Hello Hackej,
thank you for taking the time to share your experience and ideas! I've registered your voice in the following change requests:
TI-170272 Allow changing the plan settings when the target location is not available
TI-23749 Allow viewing details on all backups at once (planning data, versions, overall size etc.)
TI-69240 Support adding several backups at once
Unfortunately, there is no ETA for these requests, we continue gathering the feedback.
