3.8 Viewing disk and partition information
You can change the way data is represented in all schemes you see in various wizards.
To the right are three icons: Arrange Icons by, Choose Details and i (Display the
properties of the selected item), the last duplicated in the context menu invoked by
right-clicking objects.
To sort messages by a particular column, click the header (another click will switch the
messages to the opposite order) or Arrange Icons by button and select the column.
To select columns to view, right-click the headers line or left-click the Choose Details
button. Then flag the columns you want to display.
If you click the i (Display the properties of the selected item) button, you will see
the selected partition or disk properties window.
This window contains two panels. The left panel contains the properties tree and the right
describes the selected property in detail. The disk information includes its physical
parameters (connection type, device type, size, etc.); partition information includes both
physical (sectors, location, etc.), and logical (file system, free space, assigned letter, etc.)
parameters.
You can change the width of a column by dragging its borders with the mouse.

3.9 Changing Acronis temporary folder path
By default, Acronis True Image Echo Server saves its temporary files in a system directory
designated for temporary files. You will need to create a new system variable for saving
them in other location: right-click on My Computer and choose "Properties". In the box
that opens, click the "Advanced" tab. Next, click the button "Environment Variables".
Create a system variable “ACRONIS_SNAPSHOT_TMP_DIR” and specify the location
for Acronis temporary files.
