Why I can't select a new destination drive when disk is full?

Thread needs solution

Good day.

In older True Image versions, if destination drive gets full, a window pronts you to continue on other drive.
In True Image 2020 it is not happening. That function has been removed or it is something that can be enabled?
I can't understand why it is not working as before. It is the most useful feature to use old smaller drives to backup new bigger ones.

Error "There is not enough space on the destination drive to perform a backup."

Carlos, welcome to these public User Forums.

Sorry but the way that ATI tracks backup files no longer allows for the behaviour that you are remembering.

ATI 2020 when using .TIBX files now uses much more metadata to link files together and this cannot be spanned across different destination disk drives.

You will need to either start a new backup on the new larger destination drive, or else change your backup settings to only keep files that are able to fit on the current drive etc.

Dear Carlos,
We would recommend cleaning some space, using our safe methods following the article:
Cleaning up backups, backup versions, and replicas – Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office

Well. So the newer versions have less features and are slower than previous because of the .tibx format. Seems a huge bad decision to me. I'm not buying this software anymore.

Daria. As i said, the most useful for me is to use old smaller drives to make backups. IE, backup a 16TB to one 8TB drive and one 4TB drive. The problem it's not the used space of destination drive.

And i'm not buying another 16TB drive only for backup, having lots of smaller drives that can do the job perfectly.

I hope you recover this feature on the future, by now, i'm out. Thanks.
