Need Detailed Instructions Retoring One File in TIH 2013

Thread needs solution

I need to recover my Outlook PST file from my backup, and the documentation is useless, and the program totally unintuitive. Can anyone provide any guidance. I've used TIH for five years, and I finally have to recover one file, and there seems to be no detailed steps on how to do it. I understand that there have been other posts on this same issue, but I haven't seen a single satisfactory answer. Any help greatly appreciated.

You have various options:

- You can boot from the ATI bootable Rescue Media and choose a files/folders restore, selecting the files and folders you wish to restore.

- If ATI is installed, you could mount the backup and copy files/folders from it to the drive.

- If ATI is installed, you could double-click the backup to open it in Windows Explorer, then copy files/folders from it to the drive.

- Within ATI, right-click on the backup you wish to restore from and select "Recover Files".

That gives you four methods, so at least one should suit you. :)

Thank you for your prompt reply. I truly appreciate it, and I appreciate the fact that you are not paid, but volunteer on your own time.

I tried one of your many suggestions, and it worked, at least to the extent that I recovered the file to my hard drive in a backup location. However, since it is a PST file, it can only be opened within Outlook, so now I have to overwrite my current PST file, which is largely empty, with the recovered file. I will give it a shot.

It is very hard to understand why, with the amount of development that goes into this program, that the simple steps you provided are not in the standard documentation, or provided conveniently online. For what its worth, I also find the steps that are provided in the backup log as totally mystifying. Nowhere does it say "backup completed successfully," or "validation completed successfully." Just hundreds of granular and impenetrable entries, which give the average user no indication whatever of how their backup went. I sincerely hope someone from the Acronis team reads this comment and takes it to heart.

Thanks again for your help.
