Backup tasks and files lost
Yesterday all my backup files were lost from my computer. The TI Make Backup window is empty.
Fortunately, I always made a copy of the backup files on my NAS.
I did a thorough scan of my computer with Avast antivirus. No virusses detected.
Then I copied the backup files back on the location where these were originally stored by TI. But TI does not recognise them.
I tried Add existing backup at the bottom of the screen, but there I can select only individual .tib backup files, not backup tasks. So if I select an incremental .tib, it does select the base full .tib only.
I checked the TrueImageHome > Database directory. There I find the .opt files, matching the date of creation of the backup files. So, eg. Archives.db0000000Fh.opt from Oct 27 matches the latest incremental .tib file. I suppose such .opt file corresponds to the full chain of full backup + all subsequent incremental backups.
The scripts directory only lists an old verify job.
Two questions:
1. How can it happen that backups suddenly get lost?
2. How can I restore the backup chains?
Using Windows 10.
