TI2015 Backup Entire Disk to Cloud but cannot recover anything!!!

Thread needs solution

Took many hours but eventually ended and tick appeared on Tuesday.. Nightly updates have occurred since.
Today I tried to recover files and get "Cannot read the backup metadata. Please contact support." Message..
It looks like backup to cloud is flawed,, No validation and subsequent backups All would seem OK but when the crunch comes obviously things are not.. What happened to 'validation'. It says 93G is saved. How do I delete this perhaps and start again.. I am a very brand new Acronis trial user with high hopes but this is a very bad start.
Perhaps it just fails for trial users!!!

Does the recovery also fail if recovery is attempted from wihtin your actual Cloud account?

Yes, but I have now deleted this backup and restarted a 'discs' rather than a 'my computer' backup.
I did this because a simple small 'folder' backup seemed to work.
The discs backup (actually partitions c and d) seems to be finishing ( the estimate seems widely inaccurate as it said there was 2days+ left at 7.30 this morning. "Suspend" also takes forever! I restarted and it is still calculating !!!
Why is this all so slow? I have fibreoptic broadband and the Perfomance set to high.
Is anyone using TI2015 successfully?

Don't forget even with fibre optic, the upload speed will often be much slower than download. I'm assuming from your moniker that you might be in Australia, if so, my Optus connection is much slower up and than down.

I have the same kind of problem.

When I try to open the cloud backup files from the browser, I get the error message:

Cannot read the backup metadata. Please contact support.

Support is currently investigating the problem. I hope they get a response.

Exactly the same here. In my case, it coincided with moving to True Image 2015 - as soon as that happened, I could no longer backup to the cloud, or access it. True Image is now reporting that I have 0 GB in Cloud Storage, but via the cloud account, I can see the data but not access it. My error message is similar:

Cannot read the backup metadata. Please contact support.

Off to complain to support (again)

I have a backup of all the time going to the cloud. I can see that it goes there, but I can not get to look at it through a browser.

Just spent a fun hour with support. Apart from when they couldn't get the app to respond (think it's still the same Java errors I used to get in 2014), they didn't seem to be able to identify or repair the issue. They have all my logs and will 'let me know'.
