Image Files Naming Issue (?)

Thread needs solution

I am using Acronis® True Image Echo Workstation® with Acronis Universal Restore® (build 8,398). I have noticed this over the past few weeks of imaging and do not know if this will be a problem to try and restore an image. In order to save space on the backup drive where the images are written, I have the software over write the previous image. Here is the sequence:

Base image name: BACKUP.tib
First Incremental: BACKUP1.tIB
Second Incremental: BACKUP2.tib
Third Incremental: BACKUP3.tib

Here is where the change comes into play. The next weeks series of images, I end up with these file names:

Base Image: BACKUP1.tib (Notice here how a number 1 was appended to the file)
First Incremental: BACKUP2.tib
Second Incremental: BACKUP3.tib
Third Incremental: BACKUP4.tib

My question is this: Is this a normal function of the new build and will this pose a problem when trying to restore? I seem to recall it was an issue when trying to restore once before but don't fully remember if I receive an error indicating that the file was not the primary file (or something similar).

Thank you for your input and suggestions.

As I suspected, the Incremental Images will not run and gives the following error due to the number "1" being appended to the file.

"C0064006C: Incremental backup is not possible.

The file you have chosen is not the Acronis True Image backup, or the file is corrupted, or this is not the last volume of multi-volume archive.
Do you wish to proceed with the current file name? If you proceed, the chosen file will be overwritten and the full backup will be created.
Otherwise, you will create an incremental backup by choosing the valid archive file name or the last volume of multi-volume archive"

So how do I correct this problem?

I believe you may be in the wrong forum there is a TI Echo forum in the business section, however someone may help you here.

In the meantime check out Chain2Gen, see Grover's True Image Guides under Useful Links on the left of this page, sections 3A and 3B are the ones you need.
