Manual Browse and Delete of an Archive
Hi
Is there anyway in ATI2015 to do a browse of backups and delete one particular archive chain like we could in 2014 and earlier
As Acronis Moderator Anna has indicated, 2015 does not include the option to delete less than the complete backup, HOWEVER, there is sometimes workarounds that will suffice.
Here is one such workaround for manual tib deletion.
1. Select the task which created the to be deleted backup.
2. Click operations.
3. Click Open Location.
4. Explore will open displaying the contents of the storage folder.
Highlight the to be deleted tib files and
RIGHT click on the selected group (or singles)
Click the Delete option in the right click menu. Confirm deletion.
5. Close Windows Explorer
6. Click the "Recover Files" option in the prior selected Task Window.
7. The resulting Windows should be a WARNING WINDOW-CANNOT FIND VERSION ?
8. Click the "Ignore this version" option for whatever number times needed to clear the warning.
9. Click Cancel to return to MAIN TASK WINDOW.
Expected results may vary based on what was the next due backup function.
A. The next backup may be a full or it could be the next inc or diff--depending upon what was deleted.
B. The tib numbering may continue in order or may start over with with next number sequence--
depending upon what was deleted.
C. The next numbering system may start with new full and a v 1-1, depending..
D. After a few backups, system seems to fall into step with the settings of the backup scheme.
---------------------------------------
If the task does not exist which created the backup (to be deleted), deletion will still (as before) need to be done via Windows Explorer. Any full with inc will still need to remain numerically sequential (beginning to end) in order to remain as a complete chain.
