| This tutorial shows you the options available in Macrium Reflect to browse your images and file and folder backups in Windows Explorer. |
You can Browse or Explore an image by mounting the image file in Windows Explorer. This makes the backed up data appear as a drive in Windows Explorer that you can access just like any other drive, it is mounted in its own drive letter. This drive letter allocated is temporary. and the sections on 'Detach Image' show how to remove it. The instructions in this tutorial also apply to a file/folder backup.
It is also possible to mount an image from with in Reflect. The outcome is exactly the same as doing so from Windows Explorer.
The image is mounted as read only. This means that you cannot change the contents of the mounted drive but you can copy files from the mounted Image or file/folder backup in Windows Explorer to your PC using Copy/Paste (or Drag and Drop). You can also open files (such as WORD documents) by double clicking.
(If you have a file/folder backup (not Image backup) there is also a wizard in Macrium Reflect to restore selected files and/or folders to a place of your choosing).
