Using Acronis MVP 2019 full disk backup on a Uefi laptop and backup file mostly empty

Thread needs solution

I did a full disk backup using a bootable USB device created with Acronis MVP Tool 2019. Backup is to a external USB drive. The resultant output tib is void of files except boot type files. The backup was done on a WIndows 10 Home UEFI laptop. Attaching screen shot showing the only files on the backup device.

Looking at your screen image, it looks to me that you have backed up the contents of the USB boot media drive and not your C: OS drive.

When booting from a rescue drive, the drive letters will not necessarily be the same as what you see under Windows. Boot it again but then be sure to look at the disk choices again. Your C: drive may be D: drive under the rescue media. Don't worry about that. It's OK.
