Backup problem after restore

Thread needs solution

I restored my system with the last incremental Backup (yesterday), Backups are scheduled every 24 hours.
The next Backup after the restore completed ok but was named the same as yesterdays backup with a -2 appended.
True Image gave an error that it failed to add the backup to the backup list.
Will future backups be named correctly and add to the backup list?

The reason for this is that the program keeps history on backups but the restored history file was not aware of the backup (plus any newer backups) which you used to restore.

One method that has worked for me is to get the program back iin sync is by moving or deleting some of newer iincs to a folder away from Aconis. for example
If you used Inc s5 to restore your system, then move this file away.
Also move any newer inc's created after s5.

Reasoning: When your #5 was created, it was a backup of a snapshot which occurred prior to #5, so the snapshot included a tib listing of only up to and including #4. So you want to move any newer than after 4.

The best and most recommended solution is to stop using the old task and create a new task pointing to a new empty sub-folder.

A suggested example for the new backup task. Adjust the examples of 6 and 4 to fit your storage needs.
