Restoring files from cloud based on a date range

Thread needs solution

Something happened to my machine last week and I had to restore from an image that was about 1 week old. That worked OK, but now I need to restore any files created / updated during that week (I have nightly backups to Acronis cloud for this purpose).

But, I can't figure out how to specify to only download files created or updated during this 1 week period from the Acronis Cloud. Is there a way to do this?

Mahalo,

What sort of Cloud backup is it: disk, partition, or files? This will help us to help you.

My comments below assume you are using a disk back - I do not use file backup.

Good question. I assume you have looked at the manual? I know you can manually search for files but I am not aware of any way of automating the process. 

If you do an in-place recovery, Acronis will only replace files that are different. It compares the local files to those in Cloud at the selected date, and updates the files. This is done if you do a disk or partition recovery. If you take this approach you should do the recovery using the recovery media if the files are on the system/OS partition.

If you are doing a file recovery, where the files are downloaded as a zip file I am not sure how you would accomplish this task.
