Workaround for the Incremental/Diff Starts a New Full Backup(1).tib Bug

In ATIH 2011, 2012 and still in 2013, sometimes for absolutely no reason you get the "Not Backed Up Yet" and when you expect it to continue as an incremental, it starts a new full backup as:
MyBackup(1).tib or MyBackup11.tib
Very aggravating!!

For me this absolutely works with Win7 x64 and ATIH 2012 and probably with 2011 and 2013.

1. Start with a clean ATIH install/upgrade and setup your incremental backup(s) exactly as you want them.
2. Create your first (full) backup and verify everything is working.
3. Copy (to a safe place):
C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Database\archives.xml
and all the files in:
C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts

If you have an existing full backup of your C: drive you can mount the image and use those files.

When you get the "Not Backed Up Yet" message close Acronis and overwrite C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Database\archives.xml with the original archives.xml you copied to a safe place.

If you lose your backups in the list, don't "Browse for Backups", Copy the Scripts files you saved back to:

C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts

This works so well for me I wrote a script that before Acronis starts I overwrite the existing archives.xml

Hope this helps.
