Accidentally ignored backup version, backup should be fine. How do I restore or clean drive?
Hi Guys & Girls,
I accidentally deleted a backup version from Acronis True Image 2018.
The backup should be fine.
How do I restore a deleted or ignored backup version?
If not possible to restore, how do I reformat my external hard disk?
Please help ASAP, thank you.

Was the entire file actually deleted, or just the backup job? You can import backups that still actually exist, or use rescue media to recover from them. If you actually deleted the file though, it's basically gone. There are other recovery tools that might be able to get it back (if the disk hasn't written something new to the same sector of the disk where that file used to live already). You could try Recuva and hope it finds it and see if it can recover it. In many cases, it can be successful. However, once a file has been deleted and removed from the trash bin, there's no guarantee.
