backup explorer

Thread needs solution

I have Acronis trueimage home version 11. The documentation refers to Acronis Backup Explorer, but it doesn't explain how to get to the explorer. When I run True Image, I get tabs for Get started, Backup and recovery, Synchronization, and Tools and utilities. The backup and recovery tab doesn't have a backup explorer choice.

To be clearer, I want to recover individual files from an old backup. I can find the way to recover an entire disk, but I just want individual files. That seemed easy to do with my previous version of the software, but I can't find the way to do it in the new version.

Richard are you referring to v11 or v2011?

In 2013, if the backup is listed on the Backup and Recovery tab, you can either right click on the backup, or click on the gear icon on the right hand side of the backup, the select Restore Files. This will take you to the Backup Explorer referenced in the manual.

If you do not see the backup listed on the Backup and Recovery tab, click on Browse for Backup and add it to the list first.

AHA! That makes it easy. It sure would have been nice if the docs had made that more obvious. Thanks for your help.
