Hi,
I am using windows 7 backup and incrementally backuping up system drive every week.
I can see and browse latest backup since it is in \WindowsImageBackup and it is a complete vhd file of system image.
I can browse it via 7zip and copy contents that I need from inside it.
However, older backups are being incrementalled and they are in \System Volume Information folder.
Such as
{f63a57d0-4f8f-11ee-8db0-d8cb8a524dfe}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}
{fc1c23be-2e8e-11ee-a97f-d8cb8a524dfe}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}
{fe92813f-b812-11ee-96bb-d8cb8a524dfe}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}
and they are in different sizes, I can see backup date so I can understand to which backup they belong to.
However since they are incremental 7zip is no use here to read and understand contents.
Is there any tool out there to browse contents or at least to convert to a full backup so that I can browse via 7zip ?
I had used in the past xdelta to manually move full backups and create xdelta differential backups to save space but it was time consuming and I had to do it manually, so I switched to windows incremental system image backups.
However browsing a copying only needed files is a missing feature.
I found on a web site that using windows 10 by attaching the backup drive and restoring to a different destination but this includes restoring all files.
I can just want to browse and copy files from system image files.
Is there any tool that can do this?
Cheers,
Burzek
