    I image drives on a routine basis. I'm curious if there is any way to access the data in the image file (.TIB file)? The only way I know how to access it's data is to restore the TIB file on a hard drive. Is there any easier way to access this data? Thanks.

    You can mount the image you created. Once mounted, you can copy any individual file you choose.

    On the main TI screen under Operations there is a Mount and Unmount command. In older versions in may be referred to as Plug.

    Just click on it and follow the prompts. The image will be mounted as a drive and you can use Windows explorer to copy the desired files from it. You can even mount it as R/W and modify it. Note that the mods do not actually change that archive but are contained in an incremental backup associated with the original archive.

    With TI 9.0.3633 this is your main screen:

    Click on Mount Image. When you are done you can click on Unmount Image. In any case, on turning off your computer the image is automatically unmounted. In previous versions you chose to Unplug the image.

    I'm actually using Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console.

    I am not familiar with ASDMC. Reading through the Users Manual, I don't see any reference to Mounting an Image.

    Is TI a component that I can install or would I have to purchase it?

    True Image is not a component or an addon that you could install. You would have to purchase the program. Maybe Acronis could give you some kind of discount since really Mounting an Image is something that should be part of Snap Deploy.
