Restoring backup file

[gregor316]

I did a bcakup in windows me using the windows backupo program. I know better now. It is stored as aqic file. I have seaarched high and low for a solution to this I ahve downloaded and tried to use backup my pc and pc inspector to open these files but no luck Bacupmy pc recognizes it through the file name but says there is no catalog I need to view the files inside it to recover some of my kids school pics thats all I don't care about anything else in this file . Now its 4 gigs big so [i] want to just get in there i'll search for these file by file if i have to but i need to get into it first any help at all

Hi, It always needs to make a catalog. Cats are only stored on the backup. It's just looking to see what backups are on the disk to let you choose the one you want. Let it do it. Pick the one you want and you can then pike through all the files and restore any or all. I have been using it for years with 98SE. Took some getting used to, but no problem now. Luck, Jim
