Accessing backup files

Thread needs solution

I am using True Image 2011 on my mom's desktop to back up her stuff daily to an external hard drive. However, she is interested in being able to take that drive with her when she travels and accessing the files on her laptop. I can't seem to find a way to do daily backups with TI in a way that does not save them in compressed archives. Am I missing something? She basically just wants her data cloned on a daily schedule. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Two options are provided to look for and copy specific files from a prior backup. Have you tried the explore feature or the mount feature. Both open the compressed backup file and you select the files from another directory tree. Experiment with this and the help file and user manual can be of assistance.

You may also be interested in how others do their backups. See item #12 inside my index listed in my signature below.

The problem is that my mom is not very computer literate. I need to back the files up in a way that all she has to do is attach the HD to her laptop and open it to see her files. Doing anything more than that is going to be to difficult.
