Can I restore just individual files? Or only entire partitions?
I continue to have no luck setting up Acronis or to getting it to do anything useful.
I set up a brand new backup - differential - create a full after every 2 differential. Store no more than 2 version chains. I even bought a brand new 4 Tb disk to back up my 750 gb internal since it couldn't back up 500gb of data to a 1tb external drive before for some reason.
That seems simple enough and it seems to run, but on a test recover it looks like it is an all or
nothing deal. What if I only want to recover a few files? It can't be done? That isn't so great. Really bad, actually.
I really wish I could simply backup my system and recover a file or two if needed, or in a real disaster, everything. All or nothing is overkill all the time. I could even live without the restore everything option, but, yeah, that would be really nice if some product could do that. But I can live without that. Not a big deal.
I can't believe what I need to do is so unusual, but I guess it is. Maybe no one has ever wanted to restore just one file.
So is there any way to configure this thing to back up disks and allow the user to select only a file or two to restore at some later time? I can't believe it doesn't do this. Maybe differential is only an all or nothing option?

To restore specific data, you have various options:
- You can boot from the ATI bootable Rescue Media and choose a files/folders restore, selecting the files and folders you wish to restore.
- If ATI is installed, you could mount the backup and copy files/folders from it to the drive.
- If ATI is installed, you could double-click the backup to open it in Windows Explorer, then copy files/folders from it to the drive.
- Within ATI, right-click on the backup you wish to restore from and select "Recover Files".
That gives you four methods, so at least one should suit you. :)

My backup is on Acronis Cloud. I need to restore some individual files from it. However, I have been unable to "Mount" my Acronis Cloud backup or to find any other way to restore selected files from this backup.
