Why does ATI need two backups?
Hi.
I had an occasion recently where I had to restore an older backup (Full). My setup deletes anything older than 2 images and the image I wanted was the oldest one. When I went to restore it, ATI required the image prior to the oldest one I had, which of course created mild panic. I got around it by deleting the non existing image from the ATI desktop (showed "no file" which had been deleted by ATI during its process). So my question is, why does ATI need the previous backup to the one you want, given it's a "Full" backup?

Hi Bruno.
I had an MB failure that screwed the SSD. After replacing the board, CPU and RAM, I figured I would just boot from the ATI USB recovery but it couldn't find the NAS box as the LAN port didn't want to talk (new MB and no bootable drive I guess). I pulled an HDD out of an unused PC and booted to it, with the SSD as a secondary drive. I then ran ATI which found the NAS box and I attempted to reimaged the SSD with the oldest image I had (just in case) but it reported it needed the next oldest one which ATI had deleted at the last backup. It reported that an image had been created but showed "No File". I then ran "clean up" which deleted the non existent backup file then all was fine. No idea what went wrong.
Cheers

Well, good that you got it back together. I often find things that go wrong can right themselves without clear explanation.
