3.3.3 Recovering file versions

If you need to recover a specific version of a file, select the file in the Backup Explorer. When you
select the file, the View versions link appears below the file size information. Clicking the link opens
the View Versions window with a list of all versions of the file in the backup.

Until you select a file version, the Open and Recover... buttons remain disabled. Selecting a file
version enables the buttons:

Select the required version by its backup time and click the Recover... button. This will open the File
Recovery
window. Select the destination and recover the file version to the folder of your choice. For
more information, see Recovering data from file-level backups.

You can also recover the version by dragging it into a selected folder in Windows Explorer.

To choose the correct version, you can open the version in the associated application and view the
file contents. Choose the version by its backup time, and then click the Open button. True Image Lite
2013 will recover the file version to a temporary folder. Then, it will open the file using the
associated application.

3.4 Deleting backups and backup versions

You may want to delete backups and backup versions you no longer need. True Image Lite 2013
stores information on the backups in a metadata information database.

these backups from the database, and True Image Lite 2013 will consider that they still exist.

This will result in errors when the program tries to perform operations on the backups that no longer
exist. So you must only remove obsolete backups and backup versions by using the tools provided by
True Image Lite 2013.

To delete an entire backup:
