Starting from models of 2016, on 15-inch MacBook Pro and 13-inch MacBook Pro with four Thunderbolt 3 ports, there is a special interaction area, called Touch Bar, on the upper part of the keyboard. Touch Bar displays the most appropriate set of controls depending on the currently active window or the task that you are working on at this or that moment. This technology simplifies your interaction with user interface and allows you to perform a wide range of operations, for example, click buttons, switch between websites, use search, change text formatting, and use standard Mac system controls. See more information about Touch Bar at the Apple website: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207055.
Acronis True Image 2021 supports the functionality of Touch Bar. You can use it to switch between different application sections, configure backups, create archives, recover data, and other operations. For example when you select a backup from the list, the Touch Bar looks like this:

The Esc button and the icons to the right are Mac's system controls. The left part contains icons for navigating between the sections of Acronis True Image 2021:

The controls that refer to the current window are located in the central part. In this example you can change the backup source, destination, settings (

You can also create a new backup or archive by using the Touch Bar icons:
