True Image 2020 Finished, but with Errors
Hello Gals and Guys -
I bought True Image in 2020 after having and liking 2010 for many years. I hadn't had a chance to use it until recently. I had done a fresh install of Windows 10 on my PC and made an image without issue. I then decided I wanted to try Windows 11. I guess I hadn't learned my lesson the other times installing Windows 11, but I had an image I could put back easily, right?
When I opened True Image in Windows 11, it told me it could not find my backups. I did rename them, but eventually found them. I started the recover process. It restarted and was preparing itself, but the next thing I noticed is a dialog box pops up and it says it was completed with errors. I don't think the progress bar ever started. It gave me the choice retrying or canceling. I chose to retry and it basically did the same thing, so I canceled and rebooted. I'm now back in Windows 11, but I'd like to return to Windows 10. Is there some way I can return to Windows 10? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help Steve. I was able to put Window 10 back via the Windows recovery process. I used rename files all the time back when I had 2010, so I didn't know it was an issue. Can I rename them back to what they were? I did make a recovery disc in case I need it in the future. Thanks again.

Glad you were able to recover back to Win 10 using the Windows option.
You may find it easier to just make a new full backup rather than fix the file name issues for the earlier backup files. If you do try renaming the files back then run a validation afterwards to check for issues.

Thanks Steve. I appreciate the help. How would I know what name to put back? I have two files. I have two files- one with just Windows update run and the drivers, and another with the full install. Thanks again.

Download a copy of the MVP Assistant log viewer tool and use this to look at the logs to see what the file names were when you created the backups.
The latest version of the new log viewer tool is at the link below.
MVP Assistant - New 2.0 with Rescue Media Builder (New Version 2.3.2) BETA Version 2.4.0.1 available, see posting below.
If you have Disks & Partitions backups created on ATI 2020 or later using .tibx files, then look in the Backup Worker logs.
If you have Files & Folders backups using .tib files (or Disk backups from earlier versions using .tib files) or using Cloning then look in the Demon logs.

Thanks Steve. I downloaded the MVP, but wasn't sure how to find the old name. I did verify my backups, so hopefully they'll be useful if and when I need them. Thanks again.
