Thread needs solution

Acronis True image home 2011 plus pack
Hi can someone please help me I am TI 2011 and I have problem when I try and run a backup with the Version chain, I can make a full backup but when I try and add another to the same back up I already made it says (The selected file cannot be used as a destination, because type of the backup it contains and type of the backup that you are configuring are missing).
So can someone tell me how to make this version chain work.

Can you post a screen capture of your backup settings (destination, options, etc.?)

Hi pat
thans for the link i will have a look there but after reading other posts on this site i have decided to ditch the version chain method and go back to a differential type backup.
What i do need to know is how do i turn off version chain once and for all.
Regards to you

Go into the "task" and edit the version chain parameters and set the task to run manually rather than on schedule.

Or you can go into explorer and move the backups to another location, say off the PC temporarily. Then in ATI, chose the operation on the task to delete the backup task and all the backups associated with it. Then in Explorer you can move the backups back to the original location. Next time ATI runs, it should find the backups but it won't have any associated task.
