Restore and Backup on External Drive
Hello, I had some issues with my computer and did a System Backup to an external drive. Now that I am trying to restore my files, the system is not finding the backup. I am being asked to select another location. When I try to browse to the location of the external drive it is not found. When I open the external drive, the files are named as such: 'Backup Files 2010-07-15 193124' There are many files in this folder but they are in .wim format. There is also a application called 'Recovery Manager'. Can you please help me get these folders back on my laptop in a format that I can view? I am sorry this is Windows 7 and the external drive is a Iomega Prestige.

Hi, Normally, the WIM files are Windows Image Files and should be restored using Windows Backup and Recovery. 'Recovery Manager' could be a backup application from HP. However, If you did the backup using this application, it is suggested to restore the data in 'Recovery Manager'.
