Folder selection display on True Image 2018
In source selection, is there a way to directly see that all files & sub-folders of a folder are selected?
I have many backup jobs and many where setup long time ago so, if want to check if all new sub-folders are backed up I need to open folder tree down to new one and it is very time wasting.
In previous versions, folders display in selection were not same in contain fully selected or not.
I asked question many months ago but back on it now.
The question is:
When I select an existing backup profile created long time ago, and click on 'edit source' to check which folders were selected, how can I know if all sub-folders, sub-sub folders, etc, will be backed-up?
Ex.: Every drives that has only few folders or files, somewhere on it, has a full checkbox so, to know what will be backed-up I can check on right panel but every folders of this selected drive that has one or many folders/files has a full checkbox also so, I need to dig all folders, sub-folders, sub-sub folders, etc, to know which folders were selected.
I want to know when a folder's selection includes all sub-folders/files or if its sub-selection is partial.
Denis, if a parent folder is selected in the Source selection (assuming a Files & Folders backup task), then this will automatically select all child folders below this level, including any new folders that may be created after the task is configured / run.
The only exception would be if you have set an Exclusion in the configuration settings for the task.
I know that selecting a folder will select all sub-folders. But my question is about an already existing backup profile configured months ago. When I select this existing backup, than click on 'Backup Source', I get a tree with selected items so, how can I know if an item/folder includes all its sub-folders or only some of them?
On some previous ATI, checkbox or disk/folder were not same color if fully selected or just partially.
On 2018 version, is there any way to know if selection done months ago was about only some items or all sub-items?
Denis, I don't have a backup which hasn't been run recently so that I have any new folders or files to check for in the backup source selection panel, and if I use the option to add an existing older backup, it requires me to reconfigure and start selecting the source data from scratch!
For my own backups, all the selected folders show in Lavender colour and have ticks shown too, plus any new folders have been automatically selected and included in the backups.
Hello Denis,
You can also open a script that corresponds to your backup plan
go to C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts and if there are multiple files in the directory, open one by one in the notepad and look for <display>name_of_your_plan</display>
C:\ProgramData\ is usually hidden, so you might need to make it visible first
When you find the correct plan, look for <include> - the string will contain all paths selected
