I did read one of your other responses on a 'corruption' thread.

So maybe the moral of this story, unless I am convinced of a possible happy ending, is trust but verify. The sad news is that once I was able to see the backup, in all of it's 130GB of glory, I got an error message that the file was corrupted, and that maybe I could 'mount' the image somehow and recover the non-corrupt data. I've backed up my HDD's using Acronis 2011 a few times but have not had to recover until now. That's the first I've heard of such things. tibx file.Īs I read the user info, after the fact, I saw that it is recommended that one 'validates' the backup before putting it away. That said, it seems inconceivable that there would have been 130GB of data on that drive, but that's what the machine tells me. I was finally able to see the backup file when I searched for it as a data only backup. I had thought I remembered doing a more complete system backup, but apparently that wasn't the case. I did end up trying to get to the backup by booting from an Acronis bootable disk that was made from the same WD version of TI. The backup was created using the Acronis Western Digital version, which should be very up to date, as I just downloaded it a little over a week back.

Any idea on how to change it? I'm at my wit's end. When I go into the interface, it seems to only want to go one way, from the internal HDD to the external HDD.

tibx file on the backup HDD, but I can't seem to get the software to use it to recover to a new internal HDD in the PC. I named the backup file using the date it was done, 10_24_21. While the WD version did seem to have an easier interface than 2011, it is proving very difficult in using the backup I did for recovery. I have used my 2011 TI version for backup but have never needed to recover that data after a calamity. I felt pretty good that I'd be able to recover that backup onto a new WD HDD that installed in her machine.

Just before her computer crashed beyond salvage of the OS, I had done a Complete PC backup onto the Passport. I have TI 2011 on my own PC but have been trying to help a relative who purchased a WD Passport HDD and so am using that WD True Image version. So, please back up the data before sharing it between the two computers.I'm hoping that someone can assist with some problems I'm having with Acronis. The corruption chances of the external drive increase if used on both Mac and PC systems regularly.Like FAT32, ex-FAT is not a commonly used file system, due to which its support may vary among third-party devices.Therefore, it is better to choose ex-FAT instead. Due to the limitation of FAT32, it might affect Mac’s and PC’s performance.Ex-FAT supports a maximum volume size of up to 1 Petabytesyte and maximum file size of 16 Exabytes. FAT32 supports a maximum volume of up to 8 Terabytes and a maximum file size of up to 4 Gigabytes.Check this before selecting a file format. Specific third-party systems, like Digital Camcorders and Sony PlayStation, need the drives to be formatted in either FAT32 or ex-FAT format to perform read and write operations.Format your Western Digital My Passport external hard drive to FAT32 or ex-FAT format to transfer the data between a Mac and Windows system conveniently.Things you Should Know Before Formatting WD My Passport
