Converting images

Hi all.

Can I convert an image, made by TI Backup Server (BS) to *.tib ?

If not, then how I can use BS-maked Images, if server, where TIBS installed, fallen down?

Hello fantik,

Not sure I understand what you want to do since by default Acronis True Image uses the “.tib” extension for its image archives. What extension do you have on your image archive? It would be good if you provide the whole image archive file name.

Thanks for your answer.

You're right, default images have "tib" extension, but not images, created by Acronis TI Backup Server. For example, i have files "06B69655-2848-44E1-A1B0-B6B6ADBD44F4" and "75F60E1F-C3FC-4ECB-A6B2-AAE9DC6CAD9F" in my backup folder.

When I reinstall Windows with TI Backup Server, it ignores this files, began creating new files. So I want to know how to save existing images, when my Backup Server was broken ((

 

fantik,

The files you mentioned is not image archives, it is ATI script file (for scheduled tasks).They have *.tib.tis extension and located in X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImage\Scripts
(X - is your system partition)



Could you tell the exact name of the Acronis program you use? Also, describe how did you create the image archives, where did you store them.

I think you don't understand what I'm talking about... It's NOT tib files, but it's a True Image Backup Server (!!!) images.

Okay, let me clarify. The Backup Server is a part of Acronis True Image 9.1 Enterprise Server (or Acronis True Image 9.1 Workstation in my case). It provides automatically manage backup archives option. Check chapter 3.5 Acronis Backup Server of User's Guide. If you wish to store/restore image to/from Backup Server you should select the needed Backup Server from the drives tree in the Restore Data Wizard. Then ATI will offer you to select the backups by its creation date.

If the computer where BS installed failed, you could try to do the following:

- Create new BS or the working computer;
- Copy all the files and folders from X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\BackupServer\ to the SAME folder X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\BackupServer\ on that good computer (X=system partition);

Then try to restore/validate the image archive.

Or you could add the extension *.tib to the files stored in X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\BackupServer\ and try to restore. However, be careful since if you rename incremental backups you will not be able to restore it. ONLY the full backups can be renamed.

Hope I make it clear not. If not just ask.
