True Image for WD Backup with no comprassion

Thread needs solution

I am new to Acronis True Image. Using it with Western Digital MycloudEX2Ultra. I want to back up a folder of subfolder/files without using compression.

In the  attached screen grabs you can see how I configured the backup. also in Screen-grab03 it shows the backup files that are created on the WDMyCloudEX2Ultra.

The backup files appear to be compressed? I want to see just the native files with all of their original file extensions. Not just one .tib file that contains all the other files.

I sit possible to backup in the way I describe where for instance a sample.jpg on my desktop hard drive would be shown as sample.jpg in the backup on the WD MyCloudEX2 versus being wrapped up into a .tib file?

Thanks in advance for any help

Mark, welcome to these public User Forums.

Sorry but there is no method of avoiding the use of either .tib or .tibx files when making backups using Acronis True Image.

What you can do here is to open Explorer to where the .tib file is stored on your WD drive, then double click on that .tib file which will open it and show you the contents, allowing the use of Copy & Paste controls if needed.

Thank your reply Steve. It seems  that the “no compression” option actually uses compression to create  the .tib files?  

I am backing up about 500G to a raid NAS that has twin 2T drives. I felt I’d not need to use compression and thus could more easily and reliably access and restore a file(s) from the backup if need be. Maybe I am wrong about this?

Mark, it seems that Acronis ignores some compression settings though this has never caused me any issues that I am aware of.  I leave the compression settings at their default 'Normal' value.  I suspect that this is done for performance reasons as well as for space saving.

OK and thanks for confirming. I thought maybe there was something I wasn’t configuring or understanding correctly. I will likely revert back to the default normal compression.
