File restore exFat

Thread needs solution

I have a one minute video here of my issue:

After I created the video I noticed this partition is exFat, so I assume this is the reason.
I am guessing I cannot restore exFat partitions on a per file/folder basis??

Any way to mount this, what do I do?
I don't want to restore the whole partition...
 

Has 2021 version resolved this?
Why don't we have this facility?

Thanks...

Alex,

In your video, which speaks volumes by the way, when you select the Files tab in the right pane you see Computer.  Double clicking on Computer will allow you to drill down in the backup so you should be able to navigate to your desired file location and then retrieve the file(s) you want.

I'm trying to find "Data1" which is in fact a dedicated ex fat drive which should appear directly under Recovery -> Files -> Computer and does not, it does appear under "Partitions" and "Disks" (see video). Data1 does not appear under "Computer" when expanded, just all the other drives and partitions (See end of video).

You can see all the other drives/partitions in the File Tab: DATA2, DAW,DEV,GAMES,HardDiskVolume5, but not DATA1, see video at 1 minute.

I think the issue is because the drive is exFAT.
 

Ok found a workaround...

In Microsoft explorer locate the .tibx backup file and then right click-> Acronis True Image-> Mount. This runs another application where I can map a drive and then I can restore files.

My conclusion here is:.
1) I cannot mount drives within main TrueImage application (using drive letters).
2) exFat files/folder recovery does not work within the main TrueImage application. Only drive and partition,

I wonder if 2021 changes this or not.

Alex,

Question, I see your backup destination as drive X:\.....  Is drive X: an internal disk, external disk, or a storage device like an NAS?

You may well be right about the exFat filesystem being at issue here, are all other disks shown in your video using NTFS?  

I would also like to know why you chose X as the drive letter assignment for your target backup disk?  This may present an issue if it becomes necessary to use the bootable recovery media to restore your system disk as the recovery media uses drive letter X:.
