Acronis TrueImage Home 2012-where can I see the list of created tasks-scheduled and unscheduled?

Thread needs solution

I have upgraded from TrueImage home 2010. In 2012 once I have created tasks and have scheduled them. Where do I go to see the task list. Is this where I can edit it them?. Thank you in advance. Any tips appreciated. Kevin

As far as I could tell - the only way to edit an existing task was to find the most recent "backup file" that was created and use the (often hidden) link to "edit settings". Why did they eliminate "Task Management" as a screen?

This change proved very frustrating for me. After changing the location where backup jobs were being written, something I probably did by mistake left a "ghost" job that ran once every day and insisted on writing to the older output location. Oddly there was no "edit settings" option available for that job. I tried to kill the job by deleting the target folder. But this only made matters worse as it caused an error every day when it was time to run the job. A daily error. No way to turn it off. Sad prospect of spending untold hours with tech support trying to resolve. Wasn't worth it...

I gave up on 2012 and reverted to using my trusty old 2010 version. At least it has a "Task Management" screen where I can readily see the jobs that I have configured.

Sometimes software gets upgraded beyond its usefulness. Sad but true. I hope Acronis finds their way back to a user interface that gives the user easier control of their backups. I'll wait a while and try them again someday.
