Filipe, welcome to these User Forums.

Sorry but the .TIB files are special containers used only by Acronis True Image and can only be opened by having ATI installed on each computer.

When opening .TIB files using Windows Explorer, this does not provide for image thumbnails to be seen, but if you Mount the .TIB as a new drive letter, then that should show the preview.

If you got a .tib file you succeeded in doing a backup.  But it sounds like a backup is not what you want.  Why not just copy the files (or whole folder) to the portable drive?
