Full Backup stored in several files?

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I used Acronis True Image for some years and everything worked fine. Now I hab to install a new external HDD and the first full backup I created was stored in 4 files. see picture below.

Is this OK or did something go wrong? I Mean can I restore from these 4 files without problems?

Thanks for an answer

Alex

Axel, welcome to these User Forums.

I would suspect that your backup task hit a problem and restarted for each of these files shown in your screen shot.  The final / largest file should be OK if the backup has reported that it finished successfully.  Try double-clicking on that last file in Explorer and check that it opens and that you can navigate through the contents OK.

If you want to investigate further, then download the MVP Log Viewer tool from the Community Tools link in my signature below, then look at the backup task logs for the times when the files were created where you should see error messages for when the earlier backups failed.
