Can't explore Backups...

Hi,

I'm having a problem with exploring backup files. Usually if I don't put a password for the TIB files I could double click the file and I would be able to explore the file, copy or drag from it.

But when I placed a password on one backup; it shows this screen when i double click:

and even if i gave the correct password it would just show the same input windows again.... and again and again.

I tried mounting it as a read-only mode using the same password and it worked fine and I was able to mount it as a virtual partition.

Infos:
Echo ES build 8115
windows xp sp2
password is a simple: 1234

 

up .... so no one else is having problems with exploring password protected TIBs?

Hi,

Actually I can validate, mount and restore the image without it prompting me for a password. I just can't use the explore feature. Now every backup I made online just loops the password prompt when trying to explore.

Problem fixed already by completely un installing and resintalling the new build. Looks like the upgrade feature is still not mature, a complete re install of each build would be the recommended way of upgrading... but the problem are for those mission-critical servers that can't afford downtime even for a single reboot

Thanks for the reply.

 

I used to have exactly the same problem running TI 10 with XP. Once I had used a password even though I then removed the password requirement every subsequent backup I did would not let me access the TIB files.

I had to uninstall TI delete all my backups and start again - problem solved. I have never used a password in Acronis since even though I'm now using Vista - a case of once bitten twice shy as the saying goes.

 

This will simply not do for an enterprise environment.

Did you by any change upgrade that TI 10 from an older build number?

 

I hadn't done at the time I had the problems with TI 10 and passwords though I did upgrade to the last build they did before TI 11 subsequently. I still have an old image on my external HD that gave me the password image problem and after reading your post tried to access it again last night. I put in the old password and sure enough gained access to the TIB file. However, just like before when I double clicked it to slice the file explorer went opaque and I received the program stopped working error message.
