Unable to see *tib files from backup recovery disk?
It seems ludicrous, I have a product that sits there all the time and when I actually needed it to recover my files, I find that I am unable to restore anything. The backup *tib files that I have on another fixed drive could not be seen from the recovery disk. I know that windows swaps drive letters around in a recovery environment, but I did check all 4 of my fixed hard drives and nothing was found.

Hi Volkan and thanks for your help.
Firstly I am using the latest version (7119) on Windows 7 X64 with bitlocker enabled on all drives. In the recovery environment all of my hard disks show (even usb flash drives), but they show that there is nothing at all on ANY drive!
The main screen of ATIH currently shows 7 versions of one backup as in screenshot.
My backups are set to span multiple drives as my C drive is SSD and it's spanned across onto a new sata drive. All partitions are set to back up in the settings menu. I have just completed a backup onto a different drive but the recovery environment is the same and as described above.

ATI is not compatible with BitLocker to the extent that:
- you can use ATI in Window to do backups,
- you cannot use the recovery CD to see the content on protected disks,
- you can restore an image done in Windows using the recovery CD, but your image will be restored unencrypted and you will have to repair your computer to be able to boot properly on the non protected disk.

If the drive where backups are stored is bitlocker-encrypted, recovery eniironment ( bootable media or ASRM) won't be able to see them.

Thanks, I had a feeling that it might be something to do with bitlocker, but I just assumed that ATIH had some sort of workaround and I guess I assumed too much!

Thanks, I have now decrypted the drive that stores by backups and they do now show from within the recovery environment.
So it seems that bitlocker itself is more of a pain than a gain!

If you are preoccupied with security, you can use EFS to encrypt certain folders on the system disk, without encrypting your entire disk. If you choose to do that, remember to backup your EFS key.
To protect your backup data, you can set ATI to encrypt the backup data. THis can only be done with new tasks.
