What exactly does "consolidate versions" mean
A little confused on file backups...I have the backups (3 days a week) saved.
I had to restore to a full tib dated 9/24 yesterday...with all the file tibs in my backup folder (jpg attached)...how/where do I start to insure I recover all my files from the main tib recovery dated 9/24 to today ?
Do I go one by one...consolidate...or both ?

If yo have incs or diffs and you have set limits on how many files or how much space to use for backup files, when the limit is surpassed, ATI takes a set (full and related incs or full and the related diff) and makes a new full backup out of them. You can force ATI to do this from within the program.
If ATI can't reach the specified limits after concoslidating, then it will try to delete the oldest full. This process repeats iteratively until ATI it has met the limits or it gets cnfused and crashes (sometimes) ;).
If you want to restore, you can pick the inc for the date to which you wish to restore and ATI will figure out the rest of thebackup files that matter in the set. You can do the same for Diffs.
Say you have fill from Monday and incs for each day thrugh Sunday and you want to restore your disk to the way it was on Thurs. Then select the inc for Thurs and restore that. ATI will go back to the related full and restore all the changes up through the thrus inc.
If you only make fulls, then you don't need to consolidate, there's nothing to consolidate.

Thanks guys...the jpg in my 1st post is only a partial listing of the drive...I only want backed up user files to go back to 9/24 date range (included in jpg) and forward to yesterday to recover (user files only setup in weekly file backup-not system b/u's).
The files listed in the jpg are ATHI generated names...so I'm still confused about do I restore all file backups from 9-24 to today...or do I jsut use particular ones and ATHI will do the rest.
The reason the full backups don't show (only 2 in the jpg) is that I use my own backup names for full backups...starting with the date of the backup...followed by a brief discription...any/and all of the BackUp(x)X's files are the incremental user file backups only running every other day for specific user and system files.

If those are incs, I'd restore the one for 9/24. that will bring everything back to that date. then open/mount and copy out selected files from any newer tibs that you want if you want only those to be newer than 9/24

Ok...semantics problem on this end....in the jpg in my original post...there are multiple tib files which are simply every other day slected files/fodlers bacckups I run between between my full backups..ie... 21-11-04_Pre Acronis_Restore.tib (full system backup). I don't use incs or difs for my main system full backups (21-11-04_Pre Acronis_Restore.tib).
However...for the every other day files/folders backup I am running also I don't know what...if any methode I am using.
What I don't understnd is what/why are there so many entries with similar names in jpg in 1st post for my every other days user file/folder backups:
MyBackup(6)2.tib
MyBackup(6)tib
MyBackup(8)3.tib
etc
Do I have to restore each and every one of the regular file/folder backup (a couple dozen) or will the latest MyBachup (X)x.tib be the only specific (user files) file/folder backup I restore after I restore/recover my system to the 9/24 full backup (not shown in jpg in 1st post) I am going to restore
Thaks for hanging in there with me...TiminAz

If they are not incs, you don't have to restore any but the ones you want. If yo backed up a select set of files on Tuesday and you want those back, restore that backup.
