Re: [ADSM-L] restore an image backup using -imagetofile

Hi, Robert. Windows images are called WIM files (*.wim). I don't knowoff the top of my head if the TSM image file is the same thing, but itseems reasonable that they could be.

You might take a look athttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766067%28v=ws.10%29.aspx.It tells about how to mount a wim file. Alternatively, you can google"wim file" to do some research.

As a fall-back option, I would speculate booting off of a live Linux CDwould allow you to mount that image file as an NTFS volume and copyfiles out of it.


Please let us know what ends up working for you.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello

I tried the imagebackup feature to backup a Windows server with a lot of files 
(disk f:):   backup image F:  (around 360GB backup)

I did a restore with the option –imagetofile as:     restore image F:    O:\diskF.img  
  –imagetofile .

Run successfully and got an image file diskF.img of 360GB

Try to open it with an image program as PowerISO , configure on the program the 
temporary output to a  huge disk 1Tera, but still cannot open the file.

Just for knowledge  did is a limitation of opening an image file or anybody 
know how can it be done ?

We will use the regular restore image as partition  anyway  but ….
