How to Assign Drive Letter to Folders and Files Backup When Doing Restore?
Using Acronis True Image 2020. One of my hard drives, a non-system hard drive, is encrypted. Therefore, Acronis forces me to backup using Folders and Files with the encrypted hard drive.
Recently the encrypted hard drive failed. No problem as I have a recent Acronis True Image backup. I get a new hard drive, same capacity as the failed drive and replace the failed drive in my Windows 10 desktop.
Thinking the restore was “no big deal” and I’d have the drive up and running in no time. Turns out, not true.
Encrypt the new hard drive. Then, I discover the only way to access the backup files, since the backup is Folder and Files, is to double click on the .tib file. Wait a LONG time for anything to appear. Finally, a new window opens. Must double click on the new item to actually open the backup. Unfortunately, folders and files are shown, but I must manually copy the items onto the new hard drive. I can’t copy the folders and files using Robocopy since the backup isn’t giving me a drive letter.
My question is there a way to assign a drive letter to the backup of folders and files when doing a restore?
Or, is there a better way to restore folder and files backup when restoring to an encrypted hard drive (the encrypted hard drive is open and accessible when I am doing the restore).
