Why are my backups not found

Thread needs solution

True Image 2013 Plus Pack does not find the most recent archive when I try to recover files.

I have True Image 2013 Plus Pack, running on a Windows XP platform - Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.83 GHz, 4 GB of RAM. I have two external drives for backups.
I have defined 7 backups, including my C: drive. All backups run automatically and from what I see on the two drives, they were made as scheduled. Yesterday, I needed to recover some iTunes files. When I opened the IT program it told me that there was a new version available. So I installed build 6514 (16,0,0,6682).

Now when I look to recover the archives all of them are not there:
Prog 1 - runs each Saturday - last archive 29 Jun - last recover available 9 Feb 2013.
Prog 2 - runs each Wednesday - last archive 26 Jun - last recover available 10 Oct 2012.
Prog 3 - runs monthly - last archive 17 Jun - last recover available 21 Sep 2012.
C: drive - runs each Friday - last archive 28 Jun - last recover available 26 Apr 2013.
The three other program backups give the last archive for the recover dates.

I do not know if the problem was there before the upgrade. I rarely look at the IT program - I just check the backup folder for files and see messages when the program runs.
Any idea why I do not have access to all the archive files? Note: If I search for backups it shows me the same recover available dates. The program does list the most recent archive against each backup. The four backups that have problems do not have the same date or recovery available.

Are you unable to see the backups from within True Image, or are you unable to see them in Windows Explorer when you open the backup drives?

I saw them in Windows Explorer. However, when I tried to do a recovery the available backups were those listed in my original message. I have seemingly fixed the problem by validating the backup. It found all the backup files.
Sorry I did not get back to you earlier. I had asked the website to send an email when a reply message was posted. Nothing was received.
When it works I love True Image. I have purchased 18 Acronis products in over 8 years (2005). When I have a problem with recovery, the basis of the software, and find I get no support from Acronis it is frustrating!

Hello Alan,

thank you for your posting.

tuttle, thank you for helping!

Alan, I'm very sorry to hear, that you've had problems contacting Acronis support.

I'd like to let you know that assistance with the recovery issue can be requested any time, since support program for recovery issues is unlimited.

For more information about your support options please refer to Customer Handbook.

Let me know if you need any assistance.

Thank you.

Thanks for the reply Anna
I read that 24/7 support for recovery existed. The only problem was that I could not find it. The link took me to the support options and the only one I had was the forum. Pity that no one from Acronis read my original message. I read the Customer Handbook link that you gave me in your message. Yes, it also tells me that there is an unlimited 24/7 support for recovery problems. It again does not tell me how to access the support.
I hope there will not be a next time. However, if there is I hope the experience is better.
