Acronis Cloud Backup disappeared ?

Thread needs solution

I have a cloud subscription (1TB) and created a backup two days ago - which nearly took 24hrs to upload (500GB+). 

I tried to clone the driver a faster disk, but that failed. So I wanted to restore the backup today. I created a boot rescue USB just in case (also got the recovery boot loader installed) but noticed that neither recovery media supports wireless.

 

So I checked the backup file online, browsed it and made sure I can download some files I may need. Next thing I have done was reinstalling my PC as I thought it will be quicker to just download the backup file to a local disk. 

After the reinstall I went to the dashboard, and still see my backup but the PC being offline but with status 'ok'. When I hit recover it opened the dashboard for backups and said NO BACKUPS FOUND. 

In my account it now says 1TB free of 1TB !!

So the dashboard still shows it - but it cannot be found. 

I was on support chat which was a frustrating experience as the agent kept asking the same questions. Anyway, he then said to wait 24hrs in case there a server maintenance !

Has anyone had this issue before ? I wouldn't have thought that a 'server maintenance' pulls a backup away, and on top of that I would have assumed the support agents know if there is a maintenance, and not just ask me to wait 24hrs. 

Of course I am now half panicking as I wouldn't have expect my files to go poof ...

Gomjaba, welcome to these public User Forums.

Have you reinstalled ATI 2020 on your computer since doing a reinstall of Windows?

If yes, then look in the Other section in the ATI GUI for the Backup page and see if your original Cloud backup is shown there?

If it is shown, then you should be able to Recover from that Backup, and/or can Reconfigure the backup to get it to show in the normal place in the GUI.

I would strongly recommend having multiple backups in different places, not relying only on having a Cloud backup, i.e. a backup on local drive, network drive and Cloud, and keeping one backup offline to avoid any risk of malware attack etc.
