backup corrupt - how to fix?
My Acronis 2015 backup has not been working for a few days. When I try and run the backup manually I see:
This is not the last volume of the backup archive.
Click retry to try and read from the last location. To create a new version according to the backup scheme, click "Cancel".
Retry does not work and if I click Cancel I get:
Check whether the source and destination partitions exist.
The partitions do exist C:\ and S:\My backups\...
How do I create a new version as the message suggests?
Validation also fails. I have to assume this only pertains to the latest backup and not the four previous ones on the backup media. Acronis can see the backup media as can window Explorer. I can also access files on the media. I seem to recall the 2014 version would allow me view and manage versions of backups that were on the backup media. I could also delete individual versions if I wanted to. I can not find that feature in the 2015 version I am using.
I perform daily incrementals for 6 days and then a full. The media contains b50 through b53 complete with incrementals and a partial b54 which is way too small. How can I delete that b54 backup and resume normal backups? I tried moving the USB to a different port but it did not make a difference.

Thanks for the suggestion, Grover, but this backup has been running successfully for about a year and the chain is only from the 2015 TI release. I believe the USB drive may have lost connectivity during the backup and corrupted it. I saw your response to Kent about deleting version chains manually and tried that but it did not work. What DID work was starting TI after I moved the corrupt version to another folder and noticed there was an "IGNORE" option in addition to retry and cancel. I selected that and the backup started and created a new full backup in concert with the rest of the version chain. The first incremental completed successfully this morning as well.
I have to say I am disappointed the maintenance console has been removed from the 2015 release and have to wonder why. I prefer functionality to window dressing anytime.
Thanks again.
