Cannot do image explorer from backup
I tried to follow the steps in the following guide:
http://www.backup-utility.com/features/image-file-explore.html
However, when I get to step 4, I have no option here and the list is blank. Thus I cannot assign a drive letter to explore the backup. Please help.

Dear moderator,
I am also trying out backupper 2.0.2 server version (please note that I am not an IT guy - hence trying out in my own layman ways)!
Hence first day I did multiple scheduled backups using "partition backup" option (with differential + no compression) and second day did multiple scheduled backups using "file backup" option (though the software did prompt a recommendation to use "partition" option as I was backing up whole drive) - this time also with differential + no compression - both days for the same drive in which I store my data and I am backing up to an external hard disk.
I have two queries:
1. I found a difference of more than 3gb in the base backup file size for these two options - partition backup base file was 19GB while files backup base file was 15.2GB (the actual drive is 19GB on server when seen in explorer) - hence, my query is why this size difference as in one day my server storage has not changed much?
2. And secondly, if I explore image of subsequent differential backup files (the smaller ones created after the main base backup file) - then should it show me all files OR only the files saved in that backup version (BECAUSE to me it appears it is showing all files - which is also not bad - but then how do I know which files have changed since previous differential backup version)?
I have tried to put my queries clearly and hope they make sense for you to consider replying.
regards,
Thanks moderator - but would you help to draw attention of some other moderator to my query OR maybe even transfer this into a new discussion (if you think that is necessary to get required answers.) - i do not know how to do it!
As regards your two points:
- I used the same option of "no compression" for both the tries
- and, for 2nd - i am talking about approx 3000 folders/subfolders - with 17-18k files - so would rather prefer to see only changed files being listed in differential backup image explorer - provided that is feasible.
nevertheless - please see/advise/shift the above as per your best judgement.
regards,
I think i figured how to start a new discussion for my query - but thanks still incase you do suggest an answer to my query.
Hello ahsia124, please provide us with more information, such as screenshots, type of backup.
