Incremental backups?

Thread needs solution

Hi,

(Using Acronis true image home 2009), I have some machine image backups that I believe are incremental backups but I am not 100% sure as I made them a while ago. I want to restore from a certain (so not the final backup). I cannot see anywhere in the UI that tells me if the backups are incremental or not or anywhere that displays the backup description (I do remember typing in quite verbose notes on exactly what state the machine was in when I made the back ups).

Can anybody help?

Thanks.

I am not aware of any feature on 2009 version that provides any help in determining the type of backup--except perhaps a description added by the user or comments provided by the user.

You can simulate the restore procedure and that should give you access to your comments.

The full backup is the base and it will be about 65-70% of used space of the diskss used space.
Each incremental will only contain the changes from the prior backup so size will be much smaller.

If you wish, you can post a screen captue of the storage folder containing the *.tib files--preferably sorted in date/time sequnece.
