New backup plans create a single backup file instead of multiple ones

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I'm running Acronis 12.5 v.12.5.7641.

2 days ago I created a new backup plan (Weekly full, Daily incremental - NOT Single-file) for a vm server. The result is a single .tibx file which includes the full and the incremental backup files.

Is this a bug?

 

Thank you in advance

Hi Thanasis,

I think it's not a bug, it's a feature ;-)

When I create a new Plan, it use on default the new Backup-Format and this is version 12!
With version 12 you get .tibx files.

Have a look on the Backup-Options (mine are in german, but I think you can find this option on your on Plans)

Unfortunately you can't change the Backup-Version on existing Plans (except you export your plan, edit it with editor and import it again ... that's my way). So you have to create a new plan and chose explicit Version 11 to get .tib files.

Hi Siegfried,

So you mean that the new format creates single-files only? Cause the problem is that it creates a single-backup-file instead of multiple backup files for every day.

Hi Thanasis,

Exactly, if you select Version 12 backup format, all backups in the chain will be written to a single .tibx file. If you want full, incremental, and differential backups to be separate files, select Version 11 backup format. For more information see Backup format.

Thank you,

You're welcome! I'd also recommend taking a look at the following discussion Difference between TIB and TIBX files.
