Delta between incremental backups

Thread needs solution

When I open a .tib archive in Explorer, I see all of the folders and files in the entire backup. Is there a way to get a delta between two incremental backups and see exactly which files were changed/added/deleted?

The closest you can get is through the Backup Explorer window. You get to that window when you click explore and recover, or explore all versions from the backup list.

Do you know where that would be in True Image 2010? I don't see "Explore and Recover" or "Explore All Versions" options. I've attached a screen shot of the backup list and context menu.

I was talking about 2011, sorry for the confusion. I don't know where the equivalent is, if there is any, in 2010.

When in doubt . . .

see section 17.1, subpart 2, page 138. It describes what you can do "If you selected an archive containing incremental images, you can select one of the successive incremental images (also called "slices") by its creation date/time. Thus, you can explore the data state at a certain moment. "

Thanks, but that still doesn't give a clear view of what was updated. I wanted True Image to tell me that in a certain incremental backup archive, file A and file B were updated while everything else was unchanged since the previous backup. Anyway, my $5 copy of 2012 arrived today, so I'll see if it does what I wanted.
