Hello.. I have a few huge (500gb+) nt backup files. &nbsp;They were created as a full backup, then added to daily with an incremental backup. &nbsp;Problem is, if the user doesn't know the day the file was created or modified last, it can be hellish finding it in the incrementals. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Also, some of the folders contain hundreds of subfolders - these take an age to open, so if you're asked to restore from within those, it makes the task of searching even more difficult.<br />
<br />
Is there software available which can properly catalogue these backups and allow full control over version restoration, showing you what dates the file was modified, etc etc. &nbsp; A search facility would also prove invaluable. &nbsp;Thanks!

Restoring from huge, complex NT Backup files

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
