Problem recovering a recent .tib file to restore

Thread needs solution

Recently I cloned my drive, not realising that I would lose my desktop setup and a lot of data.

I've inserted the Acronis recovery USB but haven't been able to restore my system to what it was before I cloned my disk last night.

When using the recovery disk, I get the following message: "Cannot find version 1. You may have moved or deleted it. Please click Browse and specify its location, or ignore this message".

You can't ignore the message.

There's no problem finding the .tib file in my NAS, although I do have go to the "homes" directory, then my folder for "Acronis 10 backup", then my  folder for static backup (as opposed to an incremental backup).

If I remember correctly, I did use the "Backup" process in Acronis to make that .tib file in my NAS. Like I said, when I"m using the Acronis recovery USB, accessing the .tib file isn't a problem, but getting the process to complete is the problem.

The Acronis recovery USB does allow me to point to two disks:

1) Disk 1 -

NTFS (unlabelled) (D:) 191.5GB

MBR and Track 0

2) Disk 2 -

NTFS (unlabelled) (C:) 293.7GB

Track 0

EFI System partition 26.25MB

Recovery Partition 506.2MB

I have tried both options, and get that same "Cannot find version 1" error message.

Not sure if it's important, but when I access the boot options menu, there are two options for the Acronis recovery USB:

1) USB Disk 3.0 PMAP

2) UEFI: USB Disk 3.0 PMAP, Partition 1

I've been using the first option.

What do I need to do to avoid getting that error message and to recover my PC and desktop to the exact same state that it was before I decided to clone it to the other drive?

Strummer, please see my comments in your other topic where you posted about the clone issue.

Next, if you are seeing "Cannot find version 1. You may have moved or deleted it. Please click Browse and specify its location, or ignore this message".  this normally implies that you are trying to recover your backup from within Windows using the installed version of ATIH, not booted from the Acronis Rescue Media.

If you are booting from the Rescue Media and are seeing this message, then that suggests that your backup version chain is incomplete.  All backup version chains must have an initial Full backup file followed by any further incremental or differential files for the same chain.

When choosing the destination / target for your Recovery / Restore please be very careful that you are picking the correct drive as any such drive/partition recovery is destructive and will first wipe out the contents of the drive before writing the restored / recovered data to that drive.
