Message: Failed to recover data (can't find the backup)
Checking my backups I find trouble. It seems that all the backups are alright, but when I try to reach them from True image 2014 a got a failure message.
When I established the backup I startet with full disk backup and with weekly add of changes. After 10 of this adds I start on again automatic with full backup as you can see in the attached file picture. As my destination drive had no more space I delete older full backup together with their weekly adds.
The picture shows two full backup (26.10.2016 and 11.01.2017). Did I something wrong when I deleted backups earlier than 26.10.2016? I did it in the file manager.
How should I overcome the Failed to recover data of backup issue?
Hope for help.

Hi Steve
Thanks a lot for answer with very good explanation of the reason for my problem and how to solve it. I shall also look into Grovers "How to" https://forum.acronis.com/forum/56872
I have used Acronis for more than 10 years and have only used restore once when I replaced my drive on a laptop with a new ssd, but I'm glad I investigated my backups now.
As mentioned I have used Acronis for years and have many older backups coming up when starting Acronis. Most of them has been deleted in the file manager. I suppose I get rid of them in Acronis using the validation option mentioned in your answer.
(I always backup to an internal drive in my computer and copy the backup from there to an extern diskdrive monthly).

llars, if you have old backups showing in the task list, and you no longer need these, then just using the Delete option from the task settings menu should be all that is needed, as this will remove the references to the unwanted task from the Acronis database files.

Hi Steve
Thanks, but I like the option checking the existance of a backup before I delete it. However I have now made a sheet with all backups, backup places and checkpoint and will try to keep it ajour quarterly. It belong of course in my safe.
