Problem restore differential backup in acronis true image 2011

Thread needs solution

Hi. My problem is this: i have a schedule to do a daily differential backup. So the first backup, as known, is a full backup and the sequents are differential. The scenario is that I have do a week of backups (monday-saturday). The problem is that if I want to restore the backup that I take the Friday, for example or the Wednesday (instead of the very last that is the Saturday), the program restore the last backup that have been, in this case the Saturday.
Also if I chose the first (full) backup, the result is the same: the last backup will be restored.
What can I do to solve this problem?

Thanks

If the backups are actually differential type backups. Selecting the tib file for Wednesday. TIH will restore two *.tib files. It will restore the original backup plus the Wednesday differential. And, of course, the Wednesday file includes all changes which have occrurred since the last full backup.

The differential file is not a standalone file, it needs ito restore its base (last full backup) before it can restore the additional changes which have occurred since the prior full backup. You can choose any single differential and TIH will always restore the single differential plus its base backup.
