True Image 2016 and backups created with True Image 2011
I've recently upgraded from Window 7 to Windows 10 and hence upgraded from True Image 2011 to True Image 2016 which appears to recognise the backups previously created with the older product. My question is, are the formats of the backup files the same across different versions of True Image? Can TI 2016 recover backups created with TI 2011 and can TI 2016 use and append to the existing backups created using TI 2011?

How can I tell which version of True Image was used to create a particular backup?

Thanks again for the very useful info. I'm surprised that TI 2016 is much more limited than 2015 in terms of which older version backups it can read and recover from.

I was surprised also; but you can always use the ATI 2015 recovery media to recover backups created by earlier version.

With TI 2016 I managed to mount a backup created with TI 2011 and browse and open files. Given the published compatibility info, I shouldn't have been able to do that?
