Management of complete backups in TI2020
I just started the system backup using TI2020 and created the complete backup for system disk defining the custom scheme and complete backup daily!
The backups have been created normally as follows
daily backup.tibx (first day)
daily backup-0001.tibx (next day)
daily backup-0002.tibx <--- delete!
daily backup-0003.tibx
...
daily backup-0009.tibx
But I detele the above "daily backup-0002.tibx" manually becuse it is not necessay for me!
Then after that, the message " backup is corrupted ..." when I doubleclick (in Explorer) one of the remained backups, for example, daily backup-0003.tibx.
In the previous 2019, the complete backups are completely independent, but in 2020, they looks as backup chain and so if one of them is deleted then I can not view the backup by double clicking.
Is there anyway to handle the complete backups like TI2019?

Hello Kazuhiro,
we strongly suggest against deleting the backup archives via Windows Explorer. As opposed to the TIB format, which saves every backup version as a separate file, the TIBX archive now acts as a container for all recovery points and metadata files, as the result removing parts of the chain outside of Acronis product will result in corruption.
If you’d like to clean up backup versions you do not need anymore, use automatic and manual cleanup methods offered in the product.

There is an interesting bidirectional learning curve here. Customers are learning how to change their backup schemes in order to manage the backups created by ATI 2020. Acronis is learning how customers really use their product and how disruptive to customers the .tibx implementation can be without advanced explanation and education.
