provide backup management especially ability to delete individual differentials.

Thread needs solution

please please please acronis there is little reason for you not to allow differentials to be deleted from your interface since each differential only references the original full backup. When I use explorer to delete differentials I get warnings from acronis and when I do a restore I get so many "cant find backup version X" pop up messages... about 20 for each deleted backup.
please please please put some backup differential management into your product before I give up and buy another. Even fab dvd backup which is new and only been out a short while allows you to delete individual backups.

I suggest you use the Feedback line within Acronis 2016 to get your concerns to the Acronis Development Team. It is found under the Help TAB (looks like a book).

PS I am in full agreement with the need to have a flexible way to manage backups.

James,
For now, run a manual validiton on the entire backup.
For each missing file, you will get an error for each deleted file.
At each error prompt, click the "IGNORE" BUTTON.
This will require hitting the ignore MULTIPLE TIMES.

Validation should complete and I believe you will be able to add new dif files--if your task still exists.
