Acronis won't restore because it can't find "version 1"
I'm recalling from memory, so hope I can discribe this issue properly. I use Acronis to do full backups to a USB hard drive. I set up the first of several backups using the menu structure of this application. Backups accumulate on the hard drive and don't go away until I delete them for lack of space. Howevr, if I delete the oldest backup in a group, when I test whether or not I can recover my HD, I get an error message "can't find version 1...".
Seems like, if I remove the oldest backup, this "no version 1" problem pops up and I have to create another backup in order to be guaranteed a successful recovery. So, right now, I have two backup groups listed on my backup page. Looks like if I want to delete one item from the older backup group, I have to delete the whole group and start another one. This is a work-a-round, but I don't undrstand why the "version 1" bugaboo. I just want to pile one backup after another into one group and to be able to delete older unneeded backups without being faced with this complication.
