TeraByte Unlimited

Dear Group,
Does any of the TeraByte programs have a file explorer feature, to basically recover data (such as documents or pictures) when a machine can't boot anymore or is damaged, to copy to a flash drive for example? Is that something the Recovery Environment (WinPE I think it's called?) allows you to do? If not, what does everyone use in these emergency situations? I was thinking something like runtime.org data-recovery-software. A colleague recommended it to me.

Thanks,

Philip

Yes, you can use the tbexplo.tbs script. It's a basic file explorer that can be used under DOS, Linux, UEFI (and Windows). After running it, press <F1> to have the list of available keys and operations.
In your case, you will mount the partition, select the files you want to copy, press Ctrl+<C> to copy, go into the target drive, and press Ctrl+<V> to paste.
I have already used it to do the same as you.

Eric, thanks. Is it GUI based? My CLI skills are, shall we say, gross.

Oh, you said it can be used under Windows, so I'm guessing yes, it's GUI. Sorry .

No, it's not GUI. It can be used under DOS and TBOS.
It is included in the OSD Tool Suite, BIBM, BIU, IFL... But you can also build your own media with it. It depends what you have.

Let's assume:

1. You have used a Terabyte image product to create an image backup of the partition containing the data to be recovered.

2. You will, at some point, have some (Windows) machine that will boot.

3. You will install the Terabyte image suite on this machine that will boot.

4. The aforementioned image backup is on some disk that is accessible to the machine that will boot.

If all that is true you should be able to use TBIMount to mount the backup image and copy files from it as from any disk.

No. None of that is true. See my original post.
