Larry, see the ATI 2020 User Guide: Backups created in Acronis True Image 2020 or later where it describes the new file naming format used for new TIBX file archives.

With .tibx files, the file name has only the backup name and an incremental counter. It does not contain any additional information such as backup method, backup chain number, backup version number, or volume number, which were used with the TIB format.

A backup name may look like:

  1. my_archive.tibx
  2. my_archive_0001.tibx
  3. my_archive_0002.tibx
  4. my_archive_0003.tibx
