Can't restore backup made by 'Windows 7 file recovery' on windows 8

[Taher Di]

Hi, I have created a windows image backup by win 7 file recovery from control panel of win 8 and now I want to restore that backup.

But when I choose "select another backup to restore files from" it finds no backup.

And the backup was made successfully without any errors.

How can I restore that backup now?

You use Windows 7 to restore a image backup made by Windows 7.
Data only files that do not include or require system settings  may be stored on external media  in any format commonly used.

The Backup Files category includes individual file backups and files related to backup software. Individual backup files are often generated automatically by software programs. Backup software files include incremental backups and full system backups.
Common backup file extensions include .BAK, .TMP, and .GHO.

Does this help any?

You can use windows 8.1 disk manager to mount the vxd file as a disk drive.

Hope this helps.

Isn't Windows 8 amazing, thank you Microsoft for giving users what we can easily use finely.

I have created a backup of my win 8 with windows file recovery in control panel.
Now I want to restore that backup. But When I choose "select another backup to restore files from" the list is empty and doesn't find my backup.
I also tried to restore that image from windows installation disk but it can't find my backup too.
I backed up my windows drive (C).
So now how can I restore that windows image backup?

I wanna restore my windows from that backup not to mount it. Mounting is also available from Disk management in win 8.
