7. Set filters for the specific types of files that are not to be restored. For example, you 
may want hidden and system files and folders, as well as files with .~, .tmp and .bak 
extensions, not to be restored from the archive. 
You can also apply custom filters, using the common Windows masking rules. For 
example, to exclude all files with extension .exe, add *.exe.  My???.exe will reject all 
.exe files with names consisting of five symbols and starting with “my”. 
All of these settings will take effect for the current task. How to set the default filters that 
will be called each time you restore data, see 
8. The next selection allows you to keep useful data changes made since the selected 
backup was created. Choose what to do if the program finds in the target folder a file 
with the same name as in the archive. 
 
Overwrite existing file – this will give the archived file unconditional priority over the 
file on the hard disk. 
Overwrite existing file if it is older – this will give the priority to the most recent file 
modification, whether it be in the archive or on the disk 
Do not overwrite existing file – this will give the file on the hard disk unconditional 
priority over the archived file. 
9. At the final step, the restoration summary is displayed. Up to this point, you can click 
Back to make changes in the created task. Clicking Proceed will launch the task.  
10. (For Acronis True Image Echo Workstation local or bootable version) The task 
progress will be shown in a special window. You can stop the procedure by clicking 
Cancel. Please keep in mind that the aborted procedure still may cause changes in the 
destination folder. 
7.3  Restoring disks/partitions or files from images 
To restore a partition (disk) from an image, Acronis True Image Echo Workstation must 
obtain exclusive access to the target partition (disk). This means no other applications 
can access it at that time. If you receive a message stating that the partition (disk) can
