Hardware failure - How to retrieve entire folder from the full backup that was previously done?

Thread needs solution

I had full backups done for x folder. Now I've reinstalled the acronis on the new machine and would like to sync/retrieve the folder that was previously backed up.

I could see that from acronis I can "add existing backup" but it never resyncs with the new source (Original location changed for this backup).

So again after I pick backup source It doesn't seems to start uploading files from the NAS to the drive.

What am I doing wrong? How can I retrieve these files? Because when I go under Recovery option under the new source there are no options.

Later notes:

I could see that you could potentially open these files? See capture and capture2

Would it be the incremental or the full (see images uploaded) that we need to move?

When right clicking on the file I only see "validate" and no mount. My understanding is if we want to recover ALL we need to go from incremental.

How do I do that? Thank you in advance.

Bartosz, welcome to these public User Forums.

If you only want to recover a single folder, then the easiest method would be to double-click on the most recent incremental .tib file which will let you browse the contents and navigate to your folder, then use Copy & Paste to put a copy of the folder to where you want it.

If using the option to 'Add existing backup' then you do not need to 'Reconfigure' the backup in order to recover files / folders from it.  Again, select the most recent incremental .tib file then open the Recovery page for the new task that shows in the ATI GUI and go from there.

Note: do not recover any files / folders with their original permissions as these will never match any users on your new computer.

Hi Steve and thank you for the reply. So the most recent incremental folder structure will know to pull from the full? Reason why I'm asking is because the incremental of course file size is small that's why I was little bit confused.

When you access any incremental file, it will track back to the initial full backup for that chain.  No incremental file can stand alone as it contains only the changes since the prior backup file.
