Acronis 2018, will not recover files

Thread needs solution

Hi, I have been using Acronis 2018 on my new computer for about 1 year, it is set up to backup on shut down of the pc to my NAS. 
last week, I think because of a Windows update failure I had to recover the whole pc, losing my apps on the process. Upon recovery of Windows (fresh start) I want to use Acronis recovery to recover user/appdata/roaming/cura/5.1/ quality-changes 

I can find the folder on Acronis containing the files I need.

i can select recovery and a few seconds later Acronis reports recovery with errors (no clue to what the error was/is)

It is evident the file has not been recovered 

if I recover to a desktop folder location, same result.

I’m very disappointed in Acronis, this is the first time I really need it , after diligently backing up for a year. 
 

Any suggestion for a fix?
 

Steve

Hello!

You need to check the exact log to know what's wrong; otherwise, there is no way to troubleshoot the issue. You can use our community tool and execute the issue at the same time to be aware of the correct log/error message: Acronis Community Tool.

You can try to recover the files directly from Windows Explorer, following this KB: Recovering Files Directly from Windows Explorer.

Also, validate the file to make sure it's not corrupted (Acronis File Validation) and follow the tips in this KB: Tips for Resolving Issues with Acronis True Image.

Best regards.

 

Steve, you are most likely hitting an issue with locked files and system permissions because you are attempting to recover from within Windows to user/appdata/roaming/cura/5.1/ quality-changes

I would suggest booting your system from Acronis rescue media and trying the restore from there, outside of active Windows.

Steve, thanks for the reply.  Whilst I can navigate to my NAS and select the .tib file Acronis asks me to authenticate the device by entering the user name and password. I did this and tested the connection with  a "successful connection". However as soon as I try to select the individual file or complete the recovery the same message appears asking me to authenticate the device. It dose not matter haw many times I enter user name and password it will not let me proceed.

Any suggestions to what I should do? 

Steve, are you trying this booted from the Acronis rescue media?

Are you trying to recover to the original folder - if yes, have you tried to a totally different folder (not within the user/appdata/roaming path)? 

Have you tried selecting the parent folder to recover rather than an individual file?
