Chapter 12. Exploring archives and mounting images Seagate BlackArmor Backup offers two kinds of archive contents management: mounting for images and exploring for both images and file-level archives. Exploring images and file-level archives lets you view their contents and copy the selected files to a hard disk. To explore a backup archive, double-click on the corresponding tib file. You can also right-click on the file and choose Explore in the shortcut menu. Mounting images as virtual drives lets you access them as though they were physical drives. Such an ability means that: • a new disk with its own letter will appear in the drives list • using Windows Explorer and other file managers, you can view the image contents as if they were located on a physical disk or partition • you will be able to use the virtual disk in the same way as the real one: open, save, copy, move, create, delete files or folders. If necessary, the image can be mounted in read-only mode. The operations described in this chapter are supported only for the FAT and NTFS file systems. Please keep in mind that, though both file archives and disk/partition images have a default ".tib" extension, only images can be mounted. If you want to view file archive contents, use the Explore operation. The following is a brief summary of the Explore vs Mount operation: Explore Mount Archive type File-level, disk or partition image Partition image Assigning a letter No Yes Archive modification No Yes (in R/W mode) Files extraction Yes Yes 12.1 Searching In addition to the ability to explore backup archives, Seagate BlackArmor Backup now provides search for tib and zip archives themselves, for files in tib archives only, as well as offering full-text search in help topics and in the comments to archives made during the archive's creation.
