    My OS is fine, lost my screen captures for 'snag-it'

    From my working OS, I can choose a backupset, anything else to know after choosing & proceeding, with restore?

    Does Macrium allow choose a program & it's data to be restored from backupset, just wishing & hoping?

    On image can I turn on, 'show hidden' files? If the backup did not display 'hidden' I probably can't show hidden in the image?

    Thanks
    Rico

    Everything is in the image... BUT, if you only need some files, that image may be mounted (as a lettered drive) in your current System and you may BROWSE and find those missing files.

    No, you cannot choose a program and its files for restoration but you can use the above described feature and get what you need.

    After an image is mounted you can enable "show hidden files" option in Explorer and you will see them even if that option was not enabled when you created an image.

    EDIT: when mounting an image (using browse image option) you can also enable option "Enable access to restricted folders" if you need access to folders that are protected by system.
