[ATIH2011] Consolidate file backup does not work

Thread needs solution

I try to consolidate an incremental file backup. But I get the error message that I need at least two versions to consolidate. The archive explorer shows only the last incremental backup in the chain.

But if I use the file explorer there are 15 incremental backups and the original full backup.

If ATI's database disagrees with what you see on the disk, you should do the following:
- move the files NOT tracked by ATI to another folder on the same disk to avoid a file copy,
- then, validate your backup in ATI. If the backup validates, then the files you have moved out are not pertinent to the integrity of the backup. If validation fails, then at least one file is missing. If validation fails with all files present, the backup chain is corrupted.

Since ATIH2011 caused some more problems I decided to upgrade to ATIH 2012. This version did a rescan of the backup archives and now shows the correct number of versions...
