Workstation (local version)
Acronis True Image Workstation supports the command-line mode for data backup and
restore, as well as the GUI mode, and can be used to execute XML scripts. Here we describe
the operations available in GUI mode, which provides more functionality. For console
commands and scripting see

5.1 Main program window

The main program window contains the menu, the toolbar, the sidebar, the Active Tasks
pane and the main area. The main area contains operation icons, while the sidebar features
Tools and Help panels.
Most of the operations are represented two or even three times in different window areas,
providing several ways to select them for more convenience. For example, you can start the
necessary operation or tool by clicking its icon in the main area or by selecting the same
item from the Operations or Tools menu.
The main window contains operation icons divided into two groups.
The Task group contains the following operations:
• Backup – create a backup archive
•
Recovery – restore data from a previously created archive
•
Clone Disk – transfer the OS, applications and data from the old disk to the new one
• Add New Disk – add a new disk for data storage leaving the OS and applications on the
old one.
The Tools group contains the following items:
• Mount Image – connect a disk/partition image as a virtual drive
• Unmount Image – disconnect the connected virtual drive
• Validate Backup Archive – runs the archive integrity checking procedure
