Does not see earlier version of TI backups

Thread needs solution

I have converted my PC from Win 7 32 bit to Win 7 64 bit and upgraded TI from 15 to 16. I wish to restore files and directories from the 15 backup files. TI 16 sees the external hard drive containing the files and can set it as a backup destination but does not display the files already on it. Thanks in anticipation.

Geoff, welcome to these user forums.

With your external hard drive connected to your Win 7 64-bit system, you should be able to use Windows Explorer to browse to where your ATIH 2015 backup archive image files are stored.

Once you can see this backup files in Explorer, you should then have several options for how to proceed.

  1. You can right-click on a .TIB file, select the TrueImage option and then Mount the image as a drive letter.
  2. You can double-click on a .TIB file and it should open in Explorer and allow you to copy / paste as needed.
  3. You can open the ATIH 2016 GUI application and take the option at the bottom of the list of backups column to Add existing backup(s) from the options shown in the (V) menu.  
    Note: you may need to use the Browse option to navigate to the backup file location.
