The TBIview module of Image for Linux is unable to work with any .tbi backup file I've made. It returns "Error 64 opening <name-of-backup-file>.tbi. This usually means the file is not accessible or the file is invalid. Ensure the file exists and the user has read permissions; update to the latest version of TBIview; consider checking or replacing system RAM."
The files I've tried to open do exisit. Midnight Commander says owner, group and other have read permission. Using TBIview 1.52 (which was the latest when I downloaded the Image for Linux package). System RAM seems to be working fine for everything else. The error 64 is returned for .tbi backups of NTFS and ext3 formatted partitions. Image for Linux is able to read and restore these backups, so they appear to be valid.

Re: tbiview returns error 64 opening .tbi file
.tbi files on both optical media and on an ext3-formatted hard disk partition get error 64 returned by TBIview running in a Linux environment. The extension is whatever Image for Linux named it when it created the files. The .tbi files shows up in the TBIview choices, and are selected and OKed with no typed keyboard entry necessary (or even possible). It does seem to be a Linux-based problem, as the same files and media can be opened with TBIview running on Image for Windows.

Re: tbiview returns error 64 opening .tbi file
are you running tbiview from the boot disk or an installed distro? Do you have a small .tbi (perhaps of an empty file system or one with just a couple files) that reproduces it?
