If your original .tibx file is password-protected or encrypted, you must supply the password during the mounting or recovery stage before any data can be transferred into a classic .tib container. If you need help with a specific step, let me know: What version of Acronis do you currently have installed?
Alternatively, open Acronis, right-click the backup, and choose . Assign a drive letter to the backup image. Copy the files out of the virtual drive onto your computer.
