Managing backup archives
After a while you may wish (or be forced) to manage your backup archives, for example, in order to
free up some space for new backups by removing the oldest backups or those you no longer need. As
now Acronis True Image Home stores information about the backup archives in a metadata
information database, you must manage backup archives (e.g. delete or move some of them) by
using the program's tools and not Windows Explorer. To manage your backup archives, go to the
Data recovery and backup management screen by selecting Recovery on the sidebar.

All backup archives are distributed between two tabs: Disk backups and File backups. The Disk
backups tab lists the image backups and the File backups - the My Data, System State, My E-mail, and
Application Settings backups.
