install tib file support on client computer

Thread needs solution

Hi,
I'm just starting using backup 11.5.
I Installed full package on a server, and only (Windows) agent on client's computer.
Archives are localized on a nas, each user having its own shared folder, mapped as drive (through the login script).
In order to let them mount backup file if they need to recover lost file for instance,
I would like to know if there is a way to install drivers for tib file, but without having to install console on client computer ? (no need for them to have access to the console ...)

Thank in advance

If they need to recover some files from a backup in a shared folder, they can double-click the .tib file in windows Explorer, browse to necessary backup and copy-paste the files. This feature is installed if either agent and console is installed on the machine.

you can install only the acronis command on the client and mount the TIB file with a script...
Hare is an example from the pdf file.

Mounting the first volume of the first disk from a backup in the read-only mode. The resulting volume will be assigned letter "Z".
acrocmd mount --loc=E:\backups --arc=my_archive --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --volume=1-1 --letter=Z

Thank Fedor, but this doesn't work on computer having just the agents installed, Windows ask which program to use to open this type of file.
On mine and on server, where console were installed, this works.

Ok David, I will try, but are you sure that tib file drivers are installed with the acronis command tool, if this wasn't done before ?

99% :-)

Ok that works, but it is not very handy. I shoul have to manage one script per computer, as volumes are not always the same depending if there is recovery partition or not, also separate user data partition ...
I don't understand why Acronis doesn't allow to install drivers and full explorer integration as an option with the agents... ???!

Thanks anyway for help.
