Extracting from .TIB files...

Thread needs solution

Hi...

Quick (hopefully) question...

I may get some .tib files created from a previous version of Acronis "Backup & Recovery" / Enterprise.

I simply need to extract the files (not an actual restore).

Can I use True Image Home to extract the files?

Will I be required to purchase the Enterprise/Business level of either server or workstation? (either technically or legally)

Thanks,

PDS

Hello,

Thank you for posting your question, I will be happy to help.

If you want to explore or mount the archives created with a previous version of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 by means of Acronis True Image Home 2009, the backup archive compatibility is possible, but it is not

guaranteed. The best way is to try the mentioned operations.   

Here are the basic principles of the backup archive compatibility: 

Acronis does not guarantee forward compatibility. Backups created with a newer build/version of the product may not be supported by older builds/versions. For example, restoring a backup created with Acronis True Image Build 8163 may fail with Acronis True Image Build 8076, or restoring a backup created with Acronis True Image Home 2010 may fail with Acronis True Image Home 2009.

Acronis guarantees backup compatibility for different Acronis backup products within the same version. E.g. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Server for Linux will work with backups created by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Workstation.

Therefore, if the explore or mount with Acronis True Image Home 2009 fails, you should purchase any version of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.

Thank you.
