I' m using true image echo workstation and I admit that I did it the wrong way. This is the story:
I backup to a net drive of our server, where true image echo server has been installed. The backup tasks are initiated from my echo workstation.( I meanwile know this is quite not the intended way to use it, but it worked).
My full backup of partitions is dated june 2009. After that I repeated making differential backups every two weeks. Since my backup disk hadn't enough space I deleted some of the older differential backups fom time to time. Unfortunately I always used windows explorer to delete them. That seemed to be no problem. In fact I succeeded to recover the whole windows installation after a disk crash just at the begiinning of 2010. So this was the lucky part of he story.
After successful system recovery I continued to make differential backups. The last differential backup is dated 2010.01.30 ( windows explorer file date). When I use Acronis backup and recovery, it tells me that this part of the archive is date 2009.22.08. And the validation tool tells me that the entire archive is corrupted. Partially I now understand what happened: I have been using fixed file size (dvd 4GB). As I had deleted overfluous differential backup volumes manually, acronis began reusing the released numbers of deleted archive volumes. My last differential backup at january,30 consists of 7 files numbered backup7.tib to backup13.tib. But before that backup13.tib was part of the differential backup dated 2009.22.08 (see above). The file backup13.tib was overridden during backup. The rest of the backup from 2009.22.08 composed of file backup14.tib still exists too.
I almost read about the I acronis recovery tool. But it seems that I cannot apply this knowledge, as the tool always tells me, that my previous differential backup is dated 2009.08.22.
As I urgently need some files from my previous backup date 2010.01.30 I ask you gently readers, whether there is any hope to restore them?

Hello,

While i wrote the lengthy story down, a copy of my archive had been made. Thus I dared to manipulate the original: I renamed the rest of the partially overwritten file of the differential archive dated 2009.08.22. Lo and behold: ACRONIS immediately recognized the correct date of my previous backup and the contents of the archive was correctly displayed too. I simply copied the files I needed and will be a lucky man fo the rest of the day.
