Can Mac True Image restore files from a NAS that were created by Windows True Image?
I've been running True Image 2018 on a Windows PC and a MacBook Pro (Catalina 10.15), storing incremental backups to a NAS. The PC recently died, and I want to restore backups that were created by the Windows True Image.
However, when (on my Mac) I go to Recovery > Recover Files from Existing Backup... and point it to the backups on the NAS, True Image just hangs. Every time. (All drop-down menu items are grayed out, and all buttons on the UI are unresponsive.)
One thing that has me a bit concerned is this KB article about True Image 2018, which says that Acronis True Image on a Mac can do file-level restores: "Yes (backups of Macs)" -- implying perhaps that it can do file-level restores only of Mac-created backups, but not from backups created by a True Image on Windows - ??
I was thinking about upgrading to True Image 2021 (partly in the hopes that it'll solve this immediate problem), but if there's some fundamental problem with recovering Windows-created backups from a Mac, I probably won't.
Many thanks!

Hmmm, I did a search of the knowledge base and did not come across 1689. Steve posted on the ATI 2018 Forum first, I suggested the possibility of Bootcamp or finding another PC. Not that I know anything about MAC.

Thanks, Ekaterina. I had a feeling that was the case. I do have an ancient Windows laptop that I can install ATI 2018 on. (I have a three-machine perpetual license, so I'm good there.) And the goal is to get backups on a NAS restored to another NAS, so all I need the old Windows laptop for is running the restore process.
Regards,
Steve
