Moving backup files to another location

Thread needs solution

I'm running Acronis True Image 2021. The external drive I use to hold my backup files (.tib format) is getting full, so I want to reorganize my backups and move some of the older ones to another drive. The user guide doesn't seem to address that issue. Backups include both system images and file/directory backups. What do I need to do so that Acronis True Image can see and use a backup file that I've moved to another location?

Rob, please see the ATI 2021 User Guide - Backup operations menu for a description of the Move option.

The option only really provides for moving all your files for a specific backup task, not to move only selected files.  There is no option for moving selected files only other than using the Clean up versions tool to remove unwanted older backup version chains / versions.
