Move Acronis backups from old to new hard disk
My old hard disk drive is close to failing. The Geek Squad, yeah, I went there, installed a new SDD for my OS and a new HDD to move my programs to, like Acronis. The old HDD still works but it failed 2 of 3 of their tests so I need to recover the backups that Acronis did on the failing drive and put them on the new drive. I have already downloaded and reinstalled 2015 on my new HDD.
Is there a way to move the backups so that the newly installed 2015 will recodnize and use them?
Thanks,
David

Thanks Steve. I can't currently boot from the old drive, if that's what you were asking, but I do have a recovery thumb drive now. I wonder if I could boot from that if it would be easier? Still looking for the .tib file(s)

Ah, I found them (duh, I had them pointing to yet another disk (not corrupted or about to fail). The one that's about to fail is the old OS disk. So now it looks like I need to read about about your other point, using the option to add existing backups...
