Mounting backups fails using TI 2016

Thread needs solution

I created backups with previous versions from 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2014. The files were validated but they I can't mount them anymore using TI 2016. The backups are all single partition and I have plenty of drive letters available to use.

The error message is: Cannot assign a drive letter to a partition from the backup archive.

Cal, welcome to these user forums.  Please post any questions about ATIH 2016 in the 2016 Forum

See KB document: 1689: Backup Archive Compatibility Across Different Product Versions which has a table showing which backup archives from previous versions of the product can be read by which versions.

Your 2008, 2009 and 2011 are not compatible with ATIH 2016, only as far back as 2013.

Your 2014 archive should be able to be opened and ready by 2016.

There is a known issue with the TIB Mounter function is 2016 for which a program patch is available.
See post: https://forum.acronis.com/forum/116874?page=1#comment-374611 and download the zip file there then install the program patch contained in the zip file.
