Bare metal restores of .tibx files
Some time ago I created a Win PE bare-metal restore DVD with the TI 2020 plugin.
The TI 2020 version was an update of a previous version and created .tib (and not .tibx) files for all full backups.
I also have TI 2021 installed elsewhere and it produces .tibx files for full backups.
Will my DVD restore a .tibx file or do I have to create and burn a new one with a new "tib plus tibx" TI plugin?

As usual, I agree with Steve Smith.
It is always best to use recovery media created by the current version and build of ATI that you have. You may wish to retain old builds of the recovery media as sometimes newer versions have unexpected problems that are not in older version. I have an archive of iso of Linux recovery media going back to ATI 2013 - not sure that I will ever need it but it gives me a level of reassurance.
If the PC has a spare USB 3 port I would use a USB 3 flash drive rather than a DVD as it will be much faster to load.
