Hello Leonidas.

That behavior seems expected. That's related with the backup scheme you selected: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/ATI2023/#16515.html

 

Backup scheduler setting: monthly.

Result: you have monthly backup versions for the last 6 months plus the initial full backup version that may be kept for a longer period.

Required storage space: depends on the number of versions and their sizes.

https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/ATI2023/#10805.html

 

If you selected another scheme and this behavior is happening I suggest you to raised a ticket with our support https://kb.acronis.com/content/8153.

 

Thanks!

Leonidas, if, as shown in your screen image, you are being asked to "Locate the volume with number '1'" each time, then it suggests that the information held in the internal database for this backup version is missing or corrupted.

Try Validating the backup task and see if this will fix it.

Missing volumes / files normally suggests that files have been moved outside of the options provided by Acronis, i.e. using explorer.

Validate backup, can fix errors (?) and also verify the backup same time?

Yes, Steve, 

As the top arrow indicates, when went access tib backup file content files, every time change folder, this happens... well? Validate backup, may fix this? 

Backup with,

acronis-cyber-protect-home-office,

Having old tib TI 2018 backup files, to be continued,

Are you recommend and THE BEST IS TO start, a new backup, tibx and Not continuing an old one tib...?

 

 

 

 

There are several options that may help with your problem Leonidas, running Validation can help correct broken file linkages in the internal tracking database used by Acronis for your task(s).

You could also force the internal database to be rebuilt, but doing so normally requires that you run a Validation afterwards in order to repopulate it with information for all the files created by each active task.

See KB 60915: Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office, Acronis True Image: repairing program settings - for more information, in particular: Method 1. Rebuild the Database folder

The third option would be to start a fresh new full backup using the new .tibx format that is now used for all Disks & Partitions backup tasks.  If doing this, then you need to understand that .tibx files used for incremental backups now work very differently to how you have been used to for ATI 2018 incremental backups using .tib files.

Incremental .tibx backups do not create separate files and do not include the _inc_b?_s?_v? file naming convention.  All incremental backup 'slices' are automatically consolidated within the same initial Full backup file for the version chain, so you will only see one single file per version chain regardless of that file holding a Full and multiple Incremental 'slices'.
This new approach should remove the 'missing file' issue that you have encountered with the older scheme and separate files!

See the following KB documents published by Acronis with regards to .tibx files.

KB 63518: Acronis True Image 2020: do not delete first tibx file

KB 63227: Acronis True Image: Do not delete .TIB or .TIBX files outside of Acronis True Image

KB 63498: Acronis True Image 2020-2021: new tibx backup format FAQ

KB 63425: Acronis True Image: Limitations of tibx backups

KB 63516: Acronis True Image 2020: Incremental backups do not create separate files when using new backup format

KB 63445: Acronis True Image 2020: how to view and manage backup versions in new backup format

KB 63444: Acronis True Image 2020 and 2021: tibx backups in local destinations

So, file systems of external backup HDDs should be NTFS or ExFAT, boot should work for tibx backup and restore backup if needed...?

Tibx to restore requires new Live/Bootable media created from acronis-cyber-protect-home-office...?

Are backup to Tibx quicker than tib to backup if both settings are same?

 

Your external backup storage drives should use a supported file system, i.e. NTFS or exFAT for disk drives.

Recovery of .tibx backup images requires that you have created either Acronis rescue media or an Acronis Survival Kit partition on the external storage drive (for USB only) from the same version or a later version of Acronis that was used to create the .tibx files.  Older versions of Acronis prior to ATI 2020 have no understanding of .tibx files and will report them as being corrupt!

Performance will always be subjective to the person doing recovery alongside the capabilities of both the computer being used, speed of connection to drives, amount of memory, CPU type etc.

For me, restoring a backup is always many times quicker than have to do a full reinstall of Windows, all my applications, recover my data, configure everything etc.  That is more important than it being a race to see what can finish the action quickest provided the end result is my system(s) is (are) working correctly again.

1.

According to,

https://kb.acronis.com/node/63445/?ckattempt=1

Even tibx is only ONE FILE.TIBX I am able to select and delete parts of this file backup, versions like delete older full + incremental AFTER have done just now a new FULL BACKUP... Correct?

2.

To restore a backup.TIBX to a non bootable PC 🖥 I have to boot from USB STICK only... NOT FROM DVD of 

Acronis rescue media or an Acronis Survival Kit partition

Created with my acronis-cyber-protect-home-office program, correct?

3.

Linux media exist for boot from point-2^^^ to restore or backup to tibx...? Like as well WinPE media?

Hello Leonidas.

Please check this KB with the supported file systems: https://kb.acronis.com/content/1538

Please note that for exFAT you need to create a WinPE B.media in order to recover. Plus Disk recovery, partition recovery, and cloning operations are supported without resizing.

Regarding the B.media, you should use it to restore the entire machine/disks, please check the following KB's about how to create it for Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office:

https://kb.acronis.com/content/69472

https://kb.acronis.com/content/69427

If you want to restore individual files and folders you can do it directly in the console: https://kb.acronis.com/content/69491

The backup speeds can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the files being backed up, the speed of the external drive, and the settings used for the backup process. In general, backing up to a .tibx file should not be significantly faster or slower than backing up to a standard .tib file if the settings are the same.

Please check also this FAQ that answers to other common questions regarding the product: https://kb.acronis.com/ati2022/faq

Let us know if this answered to the query.

Thanks in advance!

Validation process is the same for tibx like tib...?

Is it faster or quicker or normally under same settings the same?

See KB 70397: Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office: How to delete old backups

Each new version chain creates a new .tibx file to contain it.  There are restrictions on what parts of any .tibx version chain you can delete, i.e. you cannot delete an incremental slice from a tibx file if there are further incremental slices after it unless you delete them all!

Automatic cleanup rules continue to work as they always have, i.e. nothing gets deleted until after a new Full backup has been created!

To restore a backup.TIBX to a non bootable PC 🖥 I have to boot from USB STICK only... NOT FROM DVD of 

Acronis rescue media or an Acronis Survival Kit partition

Created with my acronis-cyber-protect-home-office program, correct?

To recover to a non bootable PC you will need bootable rescue media that is able to correctly see the internal drives of that PC - this can be created on a USB stick, or a DVD or using the Survival Kit option - all from within your installed Acronis application using the Bootable Rescue Media Builder tool.

Note: the option to create a Survival Kit is only offered when you are creating a new Disks & Partitions (or Entire PC) type backup task and are setting the Destination for the task to a suitable external USB drive that can be used for this purpose.
See KB 61639: Acronis True Image: how to create Acronis Survival Kit - for more information on the process.
Also KB 61738: Acronis True Image: Survival Kit disk partition for backups is limited to 2TB on BIOS-booted systems
And Acronis Article:  The Acronis Survival Kit

Linux media exist for boot from point-2^^^ to restore or backup to tibx...? Like as well WinPE media?

Yes, you can still create Linux based rescue media but it has a number of known limitations that impact its use with some modern computers.

KB 58006: Acronis software: NVMe drives in RAID mode are not detected by Linux-based bootable media and Acronis startup recovery manager

KB 46250: Acronis Linux-based Bootable Media: Troubleshooting USB HID Devices Detection Issues

Validation is validation, it doesn't matter about the file being in .tib or .tibx format - validation walks through the information stored within the file to establish that it has not been changed or corrupted by recalculating checksum values and comparing these to the stored values in the file.

Validation can take a long time to complete depending on the size of the backup data plus the speed of the connection to the storage location.

Totally correct.  

Creating a new tibx backup, can I copy any settings from old backups done to tib files...?

Eg copy excluded directories,... how-to...?

I have:

acronis-cyber-protect-home-office

but backup is continued from acronis-true-image 2018 I think, ... 

opening a backup to view files. of a history of 5 incremental backups, every step in a SUBFOLDER I have to choose old incremental history of 1-5 backups, why this - Is any solution?

opening Z440w10_E_To_ext5TB_inc_b1_s6_v1.tib prompted 6-times for each sub-folder access...

opening Z440w10_E_To_ext5TB_full_b1_s1_v1.tib I DO NOT PROMPTED AT ALL

ALSO BACKUP(S) FULL & INCREMENTALS VERIFIED AFTER CREATED i set auto-verify in settings...

see attachments

well is this Normal???

Hello Leonidas.

Without checking the plans configuration plus the machine logs we can't really tell you why that's happening.

I've notified the team to schedule a session with you so we can clarify that and answer to other queries you may have.

Thanks in advance! 

So, you mean, for every new backup, is done in tibx,..and there is No way new backups be tib 

so, you have to check the logs in my PC…?

can you email me at

Lsepolis123@gmail.com 

to book a live remote session

If you do as above, i.e. copy all the settings from an old backup task then the copied task will continue to use the same file format as the original task, hence why you are seeing the new task creating a .tib backup file, not .tibx.

If you want a .tibx file, then create a new task then configure it to have the same options as your old task, i.e. file / folder exclusions etc.

If having

"Save as Default" of a tib backup checked,

and then, tried create my first tibx backup,

After create a FRESH NEW BACKUP should backup in tibx or tib?

 

 

'Save as Default' only applies to some of the options settings, i.e. Notifications settings for email server etc.  As far as I am aware it should not prevent a new task for Disks & Partitions being created to use .tibx files.  I only use the 'Save as Default' for Notifications settings to save a little time having to enter the email server details & credentials, and it typically only works when using a task of the same type, i.e. was saved for a Disk backup task and creating a new task for the same type.

Hi,

is any quick backup.tibx test to do, for example, to see if indeed created tibx backup file

Start up a new backup of a folder, also create tibx as well as ALL new backups, Not continuing or cloned from tib backups, correct…?

.tibx files are only used for Disks & Partitions backup tasks.  For Files & Folders, .tib files are still used even with ACPHO.

You need to pick at least one small partition if you want to test that .tibx files are being created.

I believe you can also test a small .tibx by selecting a disk and then excluding most of the top level folders.

Or, start the backup and look to see what is created, then stop the backup.

Be sure to completely remove the test backup so as not to get any interference in the database.

Hi Steve, Hi Bruno,

about tibx vs tib

as you say:

".tibx files are only used for Disks & Partitions backup tasks." with ACPHO...

I have just started creating a whole Disk NEW Backup, with ACPHO... but saved for later, ... I want to mention that EXCLUDED LIST of files & folders WAS the same as the prior tib backup(s) --- Are you think this is normal and should get a Tibx backup...?

Yes, making a new Disk backup with ACPHO will create a .tibx backup image file.
