Is there a way to maintain the contents of my backup files, off line?

Thread needs solution

I have several years of backups, scattered all over the place, on various drives and USB external drives, also scattered all over the place.  Basically, if it's metal and spins, it has a tib file on it.  Also, I have backup files in the Acronis cloud. 90% of my backups are encrypted.

What I want to do is maintain an offline catalog all the files in my backup files.  I prefer the catalog to be ASCI searchable. 

How do I search for a file in my tib files without having to open up each tib file?  i.e I want to search for foobar.ff3 and it will tell me which backup has that file in it.

TIA.

Julian, there is no simple solution to your quest for an offline catalog for your various backup image files spread across various drives and locations.

The nearest answer is the Search files.. option provided via the right-click context menu for your backup tasks shown in the main ATI GUI, but this means that you would need to search each backup chain separately.

See the ATI 2019 User Guide: Backup operations menu - which has a description of the search option.
