Does Acronis True Image have a diff tool?
Hi all
I use Acronis True Image to make backups of 3 of my partitions. An incremental image of my system partition and 2 file backups of my data partitions. The system partition runs every day when I boot the pc. So it's very easy for me to return to a previous state. Now I would like to see which files have changed over backups. Is there any tool available to do this? Since this is how an incremental backup works, I figured it would be quite easy to store this data somewhere. But it seems Acronis True Image does not have this feature. Or did I overlook it? I currently use a tool I developed myself, but it is quite timeconsuming to copy the backups into a temporary folder and run the tool. I keep all of my software and data seperated. 'My document' has also been moved to another partition. But I wouldn't want to erase valuable data when I restore a backup and find out when I need it.
Thanks
Steven

Sorry about that. I searched the forum before posting and did some googling, but nothing showed up.
The backups of data are not that much of a problem, since I know exactly what data is stored in them, where it is stored and when it is changed.
I have split my programs and data in four parts.
- Partition for Windows and common programs (Office, Media Player,...) - image every day
- Partition for Documents, music, drivers, setups - slow changing, data bu twice a week
- Partition for specialized software (CAD, Visual Studio, electronics) - bu is useless
- Partition for data of specialized software - fast changing, high value, data bu every day
I just copy the files for sake of safety. Call me paranoid, but I don't want a crash to wreck a mounted backup.
This has happened to me before, I managed to split a mounted backup into two files O_o
The slowness can be found in my program, but what do you expect... checking every file on a system partition is quite a timeconsuming job. I'm glad I don't have to do it myself :D.
