ATI9: What files have changed since the backup?

[Brian Kendig]

I'm using Acronis True Image 9 with Windows XP. How can I find out exactly which files have been modified since a specific backup?

The problem is that my Windows system occasionally hangs on boot for no reason I can determine, and restoring the Windows directory from backup solves the problem, so when the system fails to boot I want to find out exactly what's changed in the Windows directory since the time I backed up.

There is no automatic way to do this in TI short of taking an image that works and recording all the files and their dates etc. Then compare that with the files from an image that does work. Not a trivial task his and may not tell you the answer. Problems like this are best trouble shot by process of elimination.

Hello Brian Kendig,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

We are sorry for the delayed response.

Please notice that Acronis True Image 9.0 Home does not provide an option of showing changes between the data contained in an image/backup and the data on a hard drive.

Thank you.
