Resuming a backup scheme after reinstallation

Thread needs solution

I recently reinstalled windows and all my applications including ATIH 2011. I had previously used the version scheme, so there is an initial full backup and the latest 6 months of backups on my backup drive. Now, when I run ATIH, I get a list of all the backups as if they were separate, and the backup I am running right now seems to be named the same as the initial backup (Local_disk_(C)1.tib). Is there a way to bring all the previous backups into the scheme as they were before? I'm not sure of the best way to proceed.

YOu have encountered a typical problem with ATI. The best practice is to move the existing TIB out of the directory to another directory on the same disk to avoid a long copy. To avoid that ATI scans the files back in the backup list, you can hide the folder using Windows explorer.
Then reinstall ATI and start new backup chains.

After a while, depending on your retention policies, delete manually the OLD backup files in the hidden folders.
