Startup Recovery Manager and Logs
I prefer to image with the Startup Recovery Manager than from within Windows. I start the image process at the end of the day, and it is finished the next morning. It seems to work correctly, but there are never any logs to view. It says "No items for the selected period". I see no way to select a "period". How do I see the logs?

If you remain within the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (ASRM) environment, then you should be able to see a log. However, the ASRM sets up a RAM disk and runs from the RAM disk, and the logs are written to the RAM disk. So if you reboot, everything in RAM vanishes.

Mark, I can see the logs if I look for them after the backup finishes and it is still before the end of the day. But sometimes I don't get back to it until the next morning. It is still within the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (ASRM) environment, but now it's the next day and no logs are visible any more.

Very interesting - I've never left a PC in the recovery environment long enough to discover that. It could be that Acronis made a design decision to only store the current day's log, reasoning that a PC would only briefly be in the ASRM environment. Or, it's a bug. You could try reporting it by contacting a moderator via PM.
