Newbie question about restoring files

Thread needs solution

I'm new to Acronis TI 2014 and have a newbie question about restoring files.

If I want to restore a single file or small folder, do I have to use the Recover option through Acronis to do it or is it the same if I was to navigate to the particular back-up file/folder and copy and paste it back to my PC?

I notice there's also the option to see and restore previous versions from Acronis backups in the individual file's properties.

Also, where does mounting the image come into it? Is it also another method which enables me to perform copying and pasting tasks?

I'm confused as to which method is best.

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. :)
