This version needs work

Thread needs solution

I didn't see a bug/weakness report topic so I'm posting these here.

In getting 2020 working I ran across these issues.

1) As a user of v2016 I was unaware of the restriction against deleting versions in Windows. I make only Full backups and delete the oldest to make room on the disk for a new one. Since Acronis is controlling this they should warn users to only delete them using Acronis Clean Up. Also 2 aborted versions did not appear in Clean Up so I had to delete them in Windows.

2) The Clean Up does not see some backups v2020 has made.
I had prepared jpg screen captures to show these problems but I now I get the messages here "The file could not be uploaded" so I guess you'll hopefully understand it from my words.

There are three Acronis Full backups on my backup drive. When I go Acronis Clean Up it only sees two of them, a v2016 .tib file and a more recent v2020 .tib file. It can't find the first v2020 file it created.

3) When I try to "Validate" it only shows the file it can't find and says "Cannot find" it. It does not seem to know about the more recent file it made. When I Browse to the drive and select the more recent file to validate, it says "Cannot find". I don't know what validate does but it's of no value to me since not matter what I do it cannot see any of my backup files.

4) When I started a backup yesterday it said showed a message saying I could quit the Acronis program and it would continue and finish the backup. I wouldn't normally do that but I closed it by accident and it quit backing up and said the backup was "Terminated by user". It could not see this backup in Clean Up so I had to delete it in Windows.
