Backup was added manually message

Thread needs solution

One of my backups shows "This backup was added manually or via auto-search. To create new versions, please reselect the backup source." I set it up and the backup ran everyday. Haven't made any changes to the settings in months. Now all the backups are missing. A years worth of programming files. How do I get these back? I tried uploading a screen grab but returns "The file could not be uploaded"

Using a Mac and have the most recent version of Acronis True Image.

Michelle, welcome to these public User Forums.

First a caveat that I do not have a Mac computer and haven't used the ATI for Mac application.

Are your backup files still present on your backup drive where they were created?

There were problems recently that caused backup settings to be lost due to a bad update on the Acronis Dashboard servers which is now resolved but has left lots of users with their backup settings reset to how Acronis would set them for a new task.  I do not know if this affected users of the Mac version of ATI, but it hit many hundreds of Windows users of ATI.
