Restore system drive from a true image backup? Or recover backup files from an old computer to a new computer.
I recently built a new computer. During the migration, I backed up my data drive manually and with True Image. I also created a True image backup of my System drive (not a clone but a full drive backup) using a Vendor supplied version of True Image.
Here, however, is the problem. I had some personal project files on my data drive (D:). These are, for some reason, not accessible from my new machine. Everything seemed to copy over but these files can't be found. I assume that the windows account on my old machine had created the files with permissions that make them inaccessible to the account on my new machine. Unfortunately, I cannibalized parts of my old system to build the new one. The old system drive was reformatted and repurposed.
I still have the parts from the old machine and can rebuild it, but the only system drive backup I have is from a Seagate or WD edition of True Image. Before I upgrade my True Image license to have a go at this, I'd like to know if it's even possible to restore a system drive from a True Image backup (i.e. not a clone) or am I wasting my time.
I'm at a total loss here.
