Recover backup history after a restore
Just restored my Windows 10 system drive from disk image backup (went great)
So now, the only problem is that since I restored my system drive to a point in time last week, Acronis doesn't "remember" existing backups of my other drives that happened after the restore (and of course, it wouldn't). My question is: Is there a way to get Acronis to re-discover my other backups.
Here's a timeline, if it helps:
1/22: Backup taken of my c: drive
1/23: Backup taken of my d: drive
1/28: Windows update leaves my machine unbootable, restore c: from 1/22 backup
Now the fun part:
since I restored from 1/22, Acronis doesn't know about the 1/23 backup. I'm doing incremental backups on d:, so I don't want the chain to break. Is there a way to Acronis to re-discover d:'s backup history?

JM, Whenever I perform a restore like you did, immediately after boot up, I remove all ATI tasks. Don't delete the files, just remove the tasks.
Then to restore the other drives, you can boot from rescue media and perform the restore, or you can add the backup as an existing backup, then perform the restore. (Steve's item 2 above).
I don't like Steve's item 3 above, which is why I remove all ATI tasks.

In reply to JM, the only ways that I can… by truwrikodrorow…

Thank you Steve: I guess the last option will probably be good enough. I'm not worried about the redundancy, but I did want to make sure the the chain of incremental backups would retain their integrity.
