Abandoning TI 2021 would like to go back to 2019

Thread needs solution

Although I still have the downloaded version of 2019, it will not install, I uninstalled 2021 yesterday. So, at the moment I have no True Image on myPC. I have images created with TI 2021 but bringing those back would leave me back with TI 2021, besides I have never restored with 2021, the date section I find confusing, if I am restoring , for example, an image from 15 August why should I have to make any choices as to the date?

Peter, you should be able to reinstall ATI 2019 if that is what you want to do, but you may need to ensure that you have rebooted your PC after uninstalling ATI 2021 to clear any actions needed to remove kernel level drivers etc.

I did this exercise this week with uninstalling ATI 2021 on one of my Windows 10 VM's so that I could install a copy of ATI 2016 I wanted to use for testing a user issue.

When doing any restore Acronis will ask you to select the date that matches the backup file you want to restore from, this can also include selecting a specific time if there are several possible files available for the selected date.  This has been the case for some time to my knowledge.

With ATI 2020 & 2021 and the consolidation of incremental .tibx files into a single main .tibx file, then the date / time selection are needed because there is no separate file to select for a disk recovery.

Thank you again Steve. 'When doing any restore Acronis will ask you to select the date that matches the backup file you want to restore from', I don't understand that statement that sounds like I want to restore files from that image, all my images are Custom- Full so, if I wish to restore a complete image where in the process do I choose that Image. I apologise for being so dense about this, I think I need re- training after a tea break. When I press Shift-P to type my name it tries to print my article which I don't want.

Cheers peter

Peter, the following may help with the recovery process - written a few years back but should be still relevant.

See forum topic: [How to] recover an entire disk backup - and in particular the attached PDF document which shows a step-by-step tutorial for doing this type of recovery / restore.
