Need to read comments in TIB file before restore

Thread needs solution

I am a ATI Home version 10 user who very recently upgraded to 2009 and now will start using 2010.

 I store many full image backup TIB files, each containing detailed comments about PC condition when backed up. I must determine from comments which TIB is the correct one to RESTORE from or delete.

Using the RESCUE CD, in ver 10, the 'complete comments' were readable by starting RESTORE and selecting a TIB file, before doing the RESTORE.

I cannot read 'complete comments' in any TIB file in 2009, instead see a 5-7 word summary.Not usable at all.

What must I do to reread my complete comments entry in any TIB file before doing a RESTORE or discarding  an old TIB?

I need to read 'complete comments'  when 2009 is installed on the desktop and also when using the RESCUE CD.

Thanks, Dave_s

Just found that 2009 'does' show entire comment text  as I needed.

Start RESTORE. Select a TIB file. Right click and select "details". Comments are visible.
