Recovery problems
I am a simple soul who needed to back up family photos and videos. I bought True Image for that purpose only.
I backed up to a 1TB HDD using 'full' to start with, and then incremental. I did not set a schedule because I backed up each time I added data. I almost always did a full backup anyways.
My primary disk for photos was a 500GB external type. It crashed yesterday. When I went to 'Recover' the backup files, the dialogue gave me the option of browsing to the 'backup' folder (a bit confusing as I was trying to recover stuff). When I clicked on the Acronis recovery option I got a message that no previous version existed. I was not looking for a previous version, just the full version that was there and which I could see.
Next, using Windows Explorer I browsed to the folder containing my saved, backed up data and found 2 folders, !backups and My backups. A double click on !backups produced all my backed up files and folders!
Is True Image meant to work this way?

Thanks.
One of those methods did not work #4 - I got a message saying that there was no previous version. I agree, it does not make sense.
One did work #2.
The other two I did not need to try ;)
