Export of files and folders to a custom destination

Thread needs solution

Hi all,

is there a way to export specific files and folders of an archive/backup to a custom destination like a local folder on AMS? For me (ABA11.5, B38774) there seem to be only options to export entire archives or backups but no single files or folders to a custom destination.

Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you need to restore these folder, not export them. This will create these files in the new destination. To recover you need an agent installed on a machine that will perform the operation.
If you indeed need to export the content, i.e. you need as the result a .tib file with only these folders inside, it's impossible.

The only other option I could think of if it's a small amount of files you could try the following (provided you are not using a managed vault, if you are it's best to stick with the standard restore option... you can also index/catalogue your backups to give you file level recovery if they are supported OS's such as windows, Linux..etc)...

- Ensure you have Acronis Management console installed on the system you are using.
- Find the TIB file you need a few files/folder from
- Double click on that TIB file via Windows explorer (this should open up the archive similar to a Zip file).
- Browse to the required file/folder location and copy/past the files you need

Hope it helps...

Hey guys,

thank for your answers. In fact I want to "extract" some files and folder of a backup to a location like a network share. I think - concerning your definitions above - it's more a restore then.

Unfortunately I'm also using a managed vault with dedup so I think there's no other way than setting up a client with an Acronis agent to recover a backup partially and move it to a network location afterwards...right?

...found a workaround now. With "recover" it's possible to define a network share as destination path although I selected an agent as destination machine. Like documented on http://www.acronis.com/de-de/support/documentation/ABR11.5/#708.html
