Recover file from backup of different computer

Thread needs solution

I had a fatal failure of one of my computers.  I would like to recover some data files from that computer's backup to a different computer.  Is this possible??

Christian, welcome to these User Forums.

The short answer to your question is yes, this should be possible.

See KB 59115: Acronis True Image 2017: How to Restore Files (Windows) which describes two methods of doing what you ask.

Note: when recovering files that came from a different computer, you need to ensure that you do NOT restore those files with their original permissions as even if you have a user account with the same name on the second computer, this will never match with the original owner of the files being restored.
