It could vary depending upon the version of Acronis you used but basically
Plug in external Drive
Boot computer with the Acronis CD
Follow Prompts to open Acronis
Click Recovery
Take your time. read Carefully
Follow the prompts
Basically you will be asked where the backup (tib files) are and where you want to recover them to.
The process is simple but if unsure ask a pro of computer geek friend for help.
If you don’t have orig CD. Install Acronis on another PC and create rescue media

Thanks for your quick reply mangocomputer,
I guess that for easy access through all of my directories I should do as you suggest and simply copy-paste my data to the external drive.
The one drawback with this method is as you say the time it will take.
Acronis is clearly a great piece of software for the task it has been designed for -making incremental backups of your precious data.
I have heard that …
I have heard that Linux OSs such as Ubuntu are far quicker at copying and pasting files.
Have you got any experience with Linux or Ubuntu?
[I have been considering installing a Linux distro called Ubuntu Studio on my rebuilt PC -because it is aimed at multimedia users and I write music]
Hi Julian,

Hi Julian,
I understand the new Acronis True Image 2009 will allow you to back up using ZIP files rather than TIB. This could be the answer. You could find out more on the Acronis Website.
If you are just copying data files you can just copy the files from their original location to the new drive I would drag the files using the right mouse button and select copy rather than move.
But Using Acronis (back up data) would be quicker, but than back to the TIB or ZIP Question.
Hi Julian,
If you …
Hi Julian,
If you are interested in just copying your data, copying and pasting to the external hard drive should prove adequate. I have been doing it for years and it has never created a problem for me. Of course this only works with files created by you and not program files.
When you have Acronis installed on the computer you can open the tib files, via the acronis progam. You might want to see the Acronis documentation that comes with the program.
Hope this helps
Thanks for your …
Thanks for your video tutorial.
I have recently bought a 500Gb external drive to copy my existing drives over to. This is so I can re-format them and re-install an OS on two of them.
Are there any pieces of software out there that can accurately back up your data to another drive whilst leaving your folders browsable by windows?
