Recovery of older backups

Thread needs solution

Acronis True Image Home 2011, Update 1 (build 6597)
Windows7, 64-bit
Dell Studio 1558, 4Gb RAM

I make backups to an external 1Tb USB drive. There are roughly weekly backups going back to December 2010. They consist of a monthly full backup followed by incremental ones and the files are visible in the Windows explorer.

When I try to recover it only shows me the last 8 backups, this month and the previous one, at the bottom of the recovery window. I would have expected to be able to scroll sideways and see other, older backups but there does not seem to any possibility of doing that.
Is there a way to go back further? Are we limited to recover one of the 8 most recent backups only?

Open TriueImage and use the "Browse for backup" option.

Browse to the folder containing the backups you are interested in and choose the "add to backup list" option.

The files should become available.

Same procedure on the CD

How about that. So easy. Thank you.

But why not have a similar button on the screen which opens after pressing the 'Explore and Recover' button? That button is big and visible and the Browse for backup option is small and really doesn't stand out.

Peter,
Maybe you would want to add this to the official Wish list which is a sticky on the forum.
