What happened to my backup incremental? "Won't show in Recovery tab..."?
I have been using Acronis for years, most recently 2019 Home, but just installed 2020 on a new computer I'm setting up. I created the basic C drive incremental backup to an external HDD and ran it yesterday. Fine, no problem. Just now, after further set-up adjustments to the computer, I ran backup again. Under Actvity, both runs show. Under Recovery, it says, "No data to recover." In the backup folder on the HDD, only one backup file shows, and it has today's date. It used to be, that the full one showed, then the incrementals underneath. Why is this happening? Also, when I go to check the location using "Change location," when I click on the folder holding the backup file, I get a pop-up reading "Previously created backup versions will not be shown in the Recovery tab of this backup. To recover them, first add them as an existing backup." I have no idea what that means. Will someone please help me out with these two questions?

Steve, thank you very much, and please forgive my delay in responding. It's taking me quite a while, in spare time, to complete the computer transfer.
I have added the two back-ups. The various versions show in the Activity tab, as before. However, I continue to see only one back file in the relevant folder for my C-drive backup on the external backup HDD. Since my back up is incremental, I don't understand why I am not seeing the same list of versions I see in the activity tab. The one displayed on the HDD shows the full back up size and today's day and time when I ran the latest about 20 minutes ago. The same is true for the data drive backup which has its own folder on the external HDD.
I hope I am explaining this clearly enough.
Thanks.

Philip, are you seeing a single .tibx file in your backup folder - if so, this is correct for the way incrementals work in ATI 2020 for Disk backups.
See the following KB documents published by Acronis with regards to .tibx files.

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