As I mentioned I have different computer's backup files in different folders. I want to keep that organization as opposed to having all the images in the root.
Therefore, I didn't move them to the root. To me that is just a workaround for software that is inflexible to the user's needs. It should allow me to choose a folder within that backup device.
I set-up a friends computer the same way and it works fine so something is incorrectly set.
With that said, my main goal to retreiving these backups were to consolidate a base image and the incrementals to make a consolidated image. I did find a workaround in the following post:

The path is retrieved from the backup job settings. What is configured there ?

So obvousliy you need to move all the v2i and iv2i files to b:\, out of the subfolder, or change the backup location of the backup job to b:\backup

Did it help ? Was curious to know if it was resolved ?

Any update here?

One suggestion was to move the backup sets to the Root. I don't want to do that since it would loss the organizational structure (I have multiple machines backing up to that drive). I don't want those all intertwined.
I can't change the location. The dropdown only has the root drive letter in it. That was part of my initial question, is that set somewhere else in the program?
Thanks,

You needn't MOVE the backups, can't you just copy them to the root ?

So if the technote has worked for you , you can have the session marked as resolved.
I wished we focused on you first comment in that case : "I want to merge (collapse) some of my incremental backups"

I marked my comment as RESOLVED. Sorry I forgot to do this.
