So I changed the backup location to that drive. In addition to having upgraded from TrueImage 2019 to 2021, I bought a new 8 TB internal disk drive. It is always recommended to either do regular checks that backup tasks are running successfully and/or use the Notification option to be sent an email with a copy of the backup task log that you can review to check the status. The ONLY value seems to be to restore individual files!!! PS Why is backup software always good at doing backups but horrible at doing restores. OR, will that just error because it has nothing to use to build a backup? It feels like the only way to have a valid backup set is to delete ALL your backup sets BEFORE doing a backup. Looking at several full backup sets in August and September, somehow since upgrading to Acronis 2021 it has just taken the previous backup set and used it to build a new FULL backup. The most recent file was in APRIL!!! About the time I installed Acronis 2021. I searched on *.* -kind:folder and sorted by date. I used TrueImage 2021 to mount my September and August backups to a drive letter so I could see what was in them. The scheduled backups that created my backups were not there, and software such as PaintShop Pro 2022 and TrueImage 2021 that I had installed were not there. All the backups themselves were from the 2021 version with the latest being a full backup on 9/20. Other recently installed software was missing. When I booted to the restored drive it had the 2019 version of Acronis installed instead of 2021 version, all the scheduled backups were from over a year ago when I was running 2019 version.
