error message during recovery

Thread needs solution

on a win7pro box I get the following error message when I try to do a recovery from a .tib
file that resides on an external drive (connected to the box) ..."specify location of volume 5". There is no volume 5 in my backup folder or anywhere else I can think.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Volume 5 refers to the fifth backup in the chain. Volume 1 is the full backup, volume 2 the first incremental/differential following, etc.
If this doesn't sound correct, your backup chain is compromised. If you have an incremental chain, you might be able to recover an older incremental. If you have a differential, you might have deleted an intermediary version and you can only recover an older version.
