Files corrupted? Says it's not the last volume of backup even though it is
I've tried to recover my backups from an external hard drive (both from the main application and the rescue disk) but each and every backup from the last three years comes up with the same vague error message that it's locked (which it's not), corrupted or it is not the last volume of the backup.
It also gives me an error code which can't even be found in Acronis's own support center: 0x01010005+0x01010005+0x01E50015+0x01E5001A+0x000B041D+0x00040011+0x0000FFF0+0x80070002
When I try to open up the files in Window's file explorer, it gives me the same error of it being corrupted and not being the last volume, then it opens up about 10 file openers asking that I 'choose a backup that contains "1"'
If the files are indeed corrupted, then it renders meaningless the roughly hundred of backups that I have saved and accumulated across the years 'just in case'

All files were held on an external Seagate drive.
The version used to create the back ups was the 2014 version, while the programs used to recover it was first the 2014 recovery disk, then a newly purchased 2017 ATI regular program.
The drive itself shows no problems from the CHKDSK /R.

"Corrupted" is, unfortunately, a rather non-specific error message, in spite of its rather specific sounding term. It really just means that ATI can't validate the archive, which can be caused by disk errors or connection errors, rather than any problems with the .tib file itself.
Validation failure is often due to hardware issues. To troubleshoot, see Grover's backup and restore guides http://forum.acronis.com/forum/29618 and http://kb.acronis.com/content/1517
From an administrative command prompt, run chkdsk /r on each partition of the internal drive, and on the external HD. If there are hidden partitions, assign letters to them so you can chkdsk.
Also run a drive checking utility from the drive manufacturer, as those sometimes catch errors missed by chkdsk.
Don't connect via a hub, a port in a monitor, or a USB extension cord, etc. Connect the external drive directly to a USB port on the rear of the computer case.
And, an external USB 3 drive may require more power than your older port can consistently deliver.
