How to expand/unzip a disk image backup (.tibx) file?
Is there a way that I can copy all of the contents of a disk image backup (tibx) file to another folder on my Win11 C-disk?
I purchased Acronis so I could create a disk image backup of my old Win10 system to ensure that I have moved everything (files and folders) over to my new Win11 system.
I have the backup file, but am having trouble copying certain folders. I copied the tibx file to the Win11 C-disk. I then created a new folder where I planned to copy the contents of the tibx file. I was able to copy the first few folders without any problems. Then I ran into a problem. When I tried to copy the Users folder, File Explorer froze. I could not even close it. I had to reboot the computer. Fortunately, it was only File Explorer that was frozen. I was able to close all other open apps.

None of this answers my question. It's a brand new computer. It has all of the updates. It was the only program running.
How do I create a folder containing all of the files and folders in the tibx file?

The only reliable method of pulling all the files and folders from the tibx file would be to restore the whole disk image file back to an external disk drive then copy any files and folders from that restored drive.
When you attempt to do this from within Windows you will run into issues because of file permissions, especially with files in system folders such as those in the Users profile path, i.e. in AppData...

Yes, assuming it is of sufficient size for the data / partitions in the image or else just restore the Windows OS partition on its own.
