after rebuild and win 11 upgrade connect to old backup to prevent full backup of drive d

Thread needs solution

I rebuilt my desktop computer and installed windows 11 in the process.  I would like reconnect to a previous  backup offline for a couple of months and avoid backuping up my full d drive again.  D drive has only had minor changes.

William, welcome to these public User Forums.

You can use the option in the main Acronis GUI panel to 'Add existing backup' then navigate to where your previous backup files are stored and select the most recent of these.  This will create a new backup task in the GUI using the selected file name.  You will still need to reconfigure the task settings / options and the backup scheme etc, but if you select an incremental scheme, it should then continue the previous backup.

Note: the 'Add existing backup' option is found by hovering your mouse over the caret 'v' to the right of the normal + Add backup option.
