Restore help
I have an acronis .tib backup file(WDC WD10EZCX-60M2 NA0_FULL_B2_S1 _ V1.tib) on an external hard drive. I have installed a new solid state drive as a data drive in my computer. This is just a secondary drive for data.
How do I restore the image of the .tib backup onto my new drive, so I can see the actual folders and files on the new solid state drive?

Thanks Steve for getting back to me. Maybe now I can include the screen shots I was talking about earlier. I didn't realize I was sending you a private message. Just goes to show you how new I am to these message boards, but I'm learning.

David, the D: drive in your image looks to be the boot partition from your drive, not your OS partition, so the files you are seeing are all related to boot activity.
Try opening / exploring the F: drive in your image which should show your own files / folders.

Hi Steve.
I think I'm starting to understand. The D: drive is where I stored the Acronis backup file and the F: drive is the data from that file. When I looked into the F: did contain understandable folders and files.
I did manage to do a recovery of the backup onto my new secondary SSD by booting from the Acronis media builder CD. So now I have what I wanted to accomplish. The only down side is that the last back up I did before the crash was June of 2017. When will I ever learn to backup more often.
Thanks for all your help.

David, glad that you have got your data back and onto the new SSD even if it is not as recent as you would have desired! We all tend to learn the 'hard' way by losing some data before making an effort to make more regular backups!
