I'm wondering why IFW never had a Folder/File backup option similar to what others have.
I can see several use cases where a folder image restore would be preferred over a drive image restore (i.e. a User Profile, Microsoft Edge User Data).
Folder Backup Option
Re: Folder Backup Option
You can extract files and folders from a backup using either TBIView or a mounted image.

Re: Folder Backup Option
Correct...you can.
However, you would need to manually copy those files to their original locations.
If you try to copy files back to a User Profile, several will fail.
Copying files back to the Edge User Data folder currently corrupts the Profile.
In both examples, a restore through WinPE does not.

Re: Folder Backup Option
You should check the exclude list in the .log that comes from VSS, could be some of those files (would be copied back as all zeros).

I use Phylock...but either way, it would be much more effective, and efficient time-wise to have a folder/file backup capability.TeraByte Support wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 2:43 am You should check the exclude list in the .log that comes from VSS, could be some of those files (would be copied back as all zeros).
