Is my backup hosed?
Hi all,
I created a backup of a full disk image called "SSD Pre-Wipe" and set it to Single Version Chain.
Later, after a clean install of Windows, I did another backup of the same drive, but changed the backup name to "SSD Clean". I did not realize that renaming the backup job wouldn't keep the original TIB, but instead deleted the original AND renamed the new backup. I wish there was a warning or something.
I used R-Studio to restore the TIB that was deleted. I have no idea if the same bytes were overwritten or not, but when I to open or read the TIB now, it says it is corrupt. The old backup is over 200GB and the new is around 50GB, so there's certainly a possibility of about 150GB of completely restorable data if only the TIB was able to be opened despite being corrupt. Is there anything I can to do to read clunks or bits of the recovered TIB? I am assuming that with the Acronis compression and proprietary format, I may be out of luck.
Any ideas?
