Access to old backups after installation of 2016 version

Thread needs solution

Hello All,

I´m using Acronis TruImage since 2010 (still using this version, no upgrades).

Now i`ve bought the 2016 version (my old version is 2010!!).

During installation the 2016 version ask me to uninstall the old 2010

version.

Question: How did i get access to my old backups generated by the 2010 version?

Beamer234,

As per KB document: 1689: Backup Archive Compatibility Across Different Product Versions - ATIH 2016 can only work with backups created by versions down to 2013.

Acronis True Image 2016, Acronis True Image Cloud (Release 2016) 
on Windows

backups of Windows computers created with: 
Acronis True Image 2016, Acronis True Image Cloud (Release 2016) 
Acronis True Image 2015 
Acronis True Image 2014 
True Image 2013 by Acronis

I would recommend keeping a copy of the Acronis Rescue Media for your ATIH 2010 version - you should be able to download a copy of the bootable rescue media (as an ISO file) from your Acronis Account, and use this to access any of your old backup archive images.

You could try to 'explore' one of your 2010 .TIB image files from Windows Explorer for the system running ATIH 2016 and see if it can recognise and open the contents of the backup image?  There is no guarantee of this working but others have reported some success doing this.  The table above simply shows the backup versions that Acronis have tested as working with ATIH 2016.
