Can I move tibx files using explorer manually?

Thread solved

I have tibx files of True image jobs in my internal HDD of my Desktop PC.

I will not backup for the jobs additionaly anymore, I will only use them for restoring disks or partitions.

I want to move them to external HDD.

The files are many and huge.

I want to move by Windows explorer copy and paste, or using copy utilities like robocopy.

What I want to do is only recovering.

Is this work for recovering by the moved tibx?

Ken, the one key requirement when working with .tibx files is to always keep them together as they were created by the Acronis application, i.e. do not attempt to remove any individual files, do not delete any, especially if you have a 12KB file as part of the set (that file contains essential metadata required for correct operation).

If you are not intending to add any more backups, then the first step to perform is to select the task that created the files, in the task menu select the Delete option, then select to remove only the task settings.  This will then remove information about the task and its files from the internal database that Acronis uses to track this information.

Once the task has been removed from the GUI, then you should be able to move the .tibx files to another location by moving all the associated files together.

Dear Ken (Japan),
Thank you for reaching out. We would recommend checking this article about tibx limitations: Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office, Acronis True Image: Limitations of tibx backups | Knowledge Base

Hello, Steve Smith

I appreciate it.
Your advice was very beneficial for me.

There is a function for moving backup files in True Image, so for a long time, I wondered if I could move them by Explorer or couldn't.
Now it has become apparent.
The information that I can separate off TrueImage's backup library information and each backup was beneficial for me.

The other day, My C: SSD HDD broke suddenly.
My True Image backup files were in my dynamic disk, so the recovery didn't work well.
I just found out dynamic disk is outdated technology.
I solved the problem already, but many True Image backup files are still in the dynamic disk.
I have to move them all to another basic disk.
Now I've got the option.
It's very convenient for me.

Best Regards,
Ken
