Cannot Restore "Using Recovery Media" Keep getting error message

Thread needs solution

Error Message i get:

Failed to open backup [my file path here]. Make sure the backup location is accessible and contains all versions of the backup. This backup may also be corrupted.

This sucks.  This is the first time i have ever needed to use this option with the recovery media and now i cannot recover my OS because of this. And of course i have no way to get support from Acronis unless i pay for it. How come i have a product that i pay for and it doesn't work the way it supposed to.

NOTE i also created a brand new backup on my other computer and i get the same error. Is this a way to get you to pay for an upgrade or something? Any out there can you help me?

Ver. 2015 on Mac Yosemite

Thanks
Chris

Chris, welcome to these user forums.

I am afraid that I personally have no experience with using ATIH on Mac systems - you may wish to post your issue in the dedicated Mac forum https://forum.acronis.com/forums/acronis-true-image-discussions/acronis-true-image-mac-forum where you will find more knowledgable users who can advise you.

Please see article: 18623: How to get Technical Support: Tips, Tricks and Useful Information which to my reading suggests that you should still be able to get free support for your recovery issue.
