retrieving just the filenames from a backup

Thread needs solution

I have a validated backup of over 1k files. I need to cross-check those filenames with filenames on a harddrive as I don't want to overwrite good files with what may be some bad ones.

Is there a way to retrieve just the filenames (not the file contents) from the backup? Tks

First, you have to mount the backup (image), which is on the tools and utilities tab.

ATI will assign a drive letter.

From Start Menu/Programs, open an administrator Command Prompt. See first attachment below.

The command prompt normally  comes up:

C:\windows\system32>

Type in the drive letter that ATI Mounted.  In my case, E drive...  Type  E: then hit enter.  The prompt should show

E:\

See second attachment

Then type in:

Dir /s /b>c:\filelist.txt

See second attachment.

Depending on how many files, this could take a couple of seconds.

Open Windows explorer, navigate to C: drive and double click on filelist.txt

Let me know if you have any problems.
