Error 'The specified file does not exist' when Recovery attempted

Thread solved

This is my first post here and I have used the Acronis True Image software to recover a laptop successfully in the past.  I am hoping someone can help with the error issue I am having!

I recently (four weeks ago) upgraded my PC to Windows 11 from Windows 10.  First, I did do a full backup of my system using Acronis True Image 2016.  

I realized after about four weeks (that's how long it took for the issues to start) that I didn't like the way Windows 11 was slowing down my system and sometimes closing applications.  So I tried to do a Recovery and encountered an error that needed to be fixed by upgrading to Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office.  So I did that.

The Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office sees all the previous backups I made; I can select them from the Recovery menus.  However, every time I try to recover the system, I get this error:

Just for full disclosure, my system has a main hard drive, a secondary hard drive, and a network drive where we keep the backups.  I have only tried to recover the main hard drive, where the operating system resides.

Did some research and found that this sometimes happens when a part of the backup stream is missing, so I checked and the entire backup, full and incremental, is in the folder.  I don't delete these myself; I have it set up in Acronis to delete backups after so many streams.

How can I fix this and recover my system back to Windows 10?

Hello Jennifer. Welcome to the forum!

Please refer to this KB: https://kb.acronis.com/content/1689

(!) Acronis does not guarantee forward compatibility. Backups created with a newer build/version of the product may not be supported by older builds/versions. For example, restoring a backup created with Acronis True Image Build 8163 may fail with Acronis True Image Build 8076, or restoring a backup created with Acronis True Image Home 2019 may fail with Acronis True Image Home 2018.

Please also validate the backup and make sure it isn't corrupted, because if it is the failure is expected to happen.

Double-check that you are selecting the correct backup file when attempting the recovery. It's possible that the error is occurring due to a mismatch between the selected backup file and the files required for recovery.

Verify that all the backup files you need for recovery are present in the designated folder. Since you mentioned that the backups are set to delete after a certain number of streams, ensure that the entire backup, including both the full and incremental backups, is still available.

Try also to recover with the bootable media:

If the issue persists and the you confirmed the file isn't corrupted, please raise a ticket with our support so we can investigate the issue: https://kb.acronis.com/content/8153

Thanks in advance!

 

 

 Thank you for your response and the links to the articles. 

I checked the link sent for compatibility and noticed that yes, Acronis True Image 2016 was compatible with Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office.

To be sure, I did a validation on my backups and that was successful.  I still could not figure out why Acronis was not finding the backup files; Acronis was backing up the PC to that location with no issue.

From what I deduced from the knowledge base, Acronis does not support recovery from mapped network drives in Windows OS.  That was the key; after I moved my backup to the secondary hard drive on the PC, I was able to recover my backup with no issues.

 Hello Jennifer. In fact  Acronis does not support recovery from mapped network drives in Windows OS. 

I am glad you were able to fix the issue and recover properly.

Feel free to contact if you have any additional queries.

Thanks in advance!
