A bit of novice with how backups work, but I recently moved two hard drives from one PC to another. On the first PC, I had Cloudberry Desktop doing a backup from D drive to E drive every thirty minutes. (no encryption)

After I moved the drives, I reinstalled the program and replicated the backup plan. I made a series of mistakes related to getting the back up running again, including deleting backups from the E drive (which I assume would cause problems)

I believe things are messed up because when I now run the back up plan, it finds only recently updated/created files, but I only see a few older files on the E drive.

Based on some googling I set Delete Versions Older than 1 day from modification date (under Under Options>Retention Policy,). The subsequent backup took a while to run (it was on Purging for most of the time). However, the next backup run didn't catch the older files.

How can I (easily) recover from this? I don't need any of the existing backups as running a completely new Full Backup would be an option.

Thanks
