Image Files Naming Issue (?)
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.

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.
