Add existing backup fails
ATI2020 Build 38530
Using daily differential backup, with full version after 27 diff (every 4 weeks).
Just installed a new external drive - moved all data from old drive (D:) to new (F:).
Changed backup to point to F: instead.
ATI told me that I would loose the history, which I did, but told me to add existing backup.
Adding existing backup (i had expected to select the folder with backups, but had to select individual TIBX files) fails with - "Failed to add the backup to the backup list. The backup may be locked or corrupted. Also, make sure the folder contains the last volume of the backup, and does not contain a renamed copy of the same backup."
The naming of the backup files doesn't indicate if they are full or diff, but from the size it is obvious (name is simply "MyBackupName"-#### where the # is incremented by 1 for each time a backup is made.
I manually clean up by deleting the "diff" files when a new full is created (ATI can't do this as I can see, as I want to keep the full ones).
If I move a "full" file to a new folder I can add it from here - but I can only have 1 file in each folder.
Is it just ATI that is limited or am I doing something wrong?
Help much appreciated...
