Something is definitely wrong True Image produces tib files not zXX ones.

Could you give some more information on what type of backup or image you chose, how you started it etc.

Which build of 2010 are you using?

Is this in Windows or from the recovery CD?

I went thru the wizard, and tried to save them as zip and as tib. I googled tib files and I didn't have anything to open a tib file. I bought it last year and never loaded it. From Best buy, don't have the box in front of me... It was going to an external hardrive. Mostly just pictures. I did not find it very user friendly as the Best Buy sales guy implied...

It would be helpful if you could state what type of backup you chose.

Tib files are the container files (like a zip file) that is proprietary to Acronis and True Image makes and uses. No other product makes these.

So did you perhaps activate Non Stop Backup instead of making an image or did you select files and folders or complete disk image? Really need to find out what and where these 'z' files are coming from.

As the only person sitting in front of your PC is you, out here in cyberspace no one can see what you are doing or what you see, therefore as much information as you can give will go a long way to helping other people to help you.

Lisa,

Most likely you created a file backup and you have chosen to save the backup as a zip file.

You should save it as a TIB file.

You can open TIB files using windows explorer if ATI is installed (double click on the TIB file).

If ATI is not installed, you can boot the computer on the Acronis recovery CD and restore the files through the ATI interface.
