Reverting back to previous backup
I get sequential backups. Suppose I revert to a backup 4 sequences ago to get rid of a suspected problem. Everything works, and I am gratefull for my backup program. Now some time later I again revert to a previous backup. Has Acronis skipped over the bad versions? Could I inadvertently revert to my bad version? What does the backup program do with the copies it skipped over?
Is there some housekeeping that I should have done to remove the supected bad backups?
Thank you for your time

One of the rules I practice myself and recommend to others is that anytime I do a restore of my system, I stop using the existing tasks and create all new tasks. The restore puts the system back to a different spot in time and is now not fully in sync or not 100% the same now as it was then. For example, the tib files which was used as a restore exists now in the storage bin but did NOT exist at time of the backup--it had yet to be created. For me, starting over with new tasks removes any issues as to where the system was at any given time in the old backups. I try to avoid time spent troubleshooting if it can be prevented in the first place. Users choice.
