The file is corrupted
That's the less than useful message I now get from 2 x ATI2020 installations which have successfully been doing sheduled weekly custom full image backups. So I've had to create new repositories and start again. But the old repositories are needed, how do I recover them?
One possible commonality - on both systems I recently houskeeped the number of saved images and reduced the total by half or more. But I did that using the "Clean up versions action".
Once again this prooves how stupid Acronis 'tibx' format is, if backups cannot be truly standalone.
Any recovery ideas anyone? (image attached)

Thanks. I gave those steps a go on one of my machines.
Got as far as the Add button to add my first backup back in and this pops up:
Well I ignored it and went on and did "reconfigure" and got this ..
I think I'm stuffed.
Let this be a awarning to everyone. The current Acronis 'system' which relies on multiple files being uncorrupted in order to just recover one of them is deeply flawed for a system which is supposed to provide BACKUPs.
Avoid !

Clutching at straws here. You could try copying the backup files to a local dive as there is a possibility that the problem is network related. Over the years there have been reports of problems when recovering from a NAS, and copying the backup files to a local drive (including USB drive attached to the computer) has allowed the recovery.
