Old tib support
I have been using Acronis for over a decade and just found an old .tib file dates 25 Dec 2009. I'd like to pull out some files, it's an old My Documents snapshot and I know that some photos from there ended up corrupted due to something Adobe Lightroom did to the source photos. I'm now using Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office but when I try to mount the .tib I get the error "Specified archive accnot be mounted since it contains no partitions". So it was a folder as the source so maybe that's the issue, although I was under the impression that any .tib regardless of whether it was a folder or device source could be mounted as a drive. I can't find any other way to browse the archive. I know that v11 and earlier aren't supported any more but surely we're not stuck with broken tib archives from way back?

Actually yeah, I realised this was the case and tried opening the tib in Windows Explorer. Whilst I can see all the folders and files it takes ages to present them and if I select all and try to copy to another location it takes so long as to be impractical to recover anything. I left it for an hour and all it did was lock up both the source and destination explorer instances. Maybe it was still processing what to copy, but who knows... I'm reading the tib on a fast SSD on a Ryzen 3800x with 32GB 3200mhz RAM. Is it really supposed to be this difficult to copy files out?
I can't import the tib into the Acronis UI. With a backup made within the UI I can select a point to recover in the folder hierarchy and recover to a destination different to the original. Is there a realistic way to actually recover files?

Stephen, how large is this very old .tib file?
Have you tried using an older version of ATI rescue media to access it offline from Windows?
