Accessing files from earlier existing backups

Thread needs solution

I perform full backups weekly, and then daily differential backups of my c: partition. I want to access Coloring Pages a file which was present in a backup prior to the most recent full backup. I keep several weeks worth of these chains before they are deleted by ATI.  10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254

 

How can I accomplish my goal? Thanks in advance for advice and suggestions.When I "add an existing backup" using the GUI, I point to the older full backup. The activity log shows that is has been "added". But I don't see it in the GUI and can't access the older version of the files I am seeking.

Kelis, welcome to these public User Forums.

If the backup task that created all your current and older backups is shown in the ATI GUI, then you do not need to use 'add existing backup' as they are already present!

If you want to retrieve a file from an earlier date, open the Recovery panel for the backup task, then at the top use the drop-down list to select the date & time of the specific backup you want to get the file from.  That's it!
