Broken Backup Volume
A customer has caused all kinds of problems by not using Acronis as per the instructions resulting in not being able to find the last backup in a volume. Is there a way to extract data from what I guess can only be descibed as a broken backup set.
Thanks Mick

Hi Anton
Thanks for your reply, to briefly explain how we arrived at where we are now this is what has happen. The machine belongs to one of our customers who we support. Unfortunatley a few days agao he experienced a BSOD and decided with his very limited knowledge to actually create a clone of the backup disk thinking that the machine would be restored to its pre BSOD state. However as we know thats not the way to carry out a restore and of course we should have been allowed to identify the cause of the BSOD first. What we have now is an external backup disk with the .tib files and an identical disk in the machine. If only he had come to us first, Hey Ho.
The backup is split into several files in the same folder and if we try to run restore or open any of the .tib files we are advised that it is not the last volume of the backup archive. We also get the same message if we attempt to mount any of the .tib files as you suggested.
Whilst we accept that a full restore may not be possible we want to try to salvage some of the customers personal data.
Kind regards
Mick
