I have a TIB file of a disk. I want to restore a large folder with many files band subfolders. Dragging is prohibited. So now I want to restore the whole TIB to a spare portable USB drive. This should be simple, but I cannot figure out how to do this!! I see zillions of posts on how to open the TIB and navigate to a file then drag and drop. I have many thousands of files and folder within the one I want to restore. So, yeah, how do just restore the TIB in its entirety. I did not create the TIB on this machine so it'snot in my backups list. How to I open/select a TIB and say "restore to drive x"? I know it will overwrite the x drive!

I should mention what I meant by "prohibited" - a poor description. I cannot successfully drag the folder I want out of the TIB and drop it elsewhere. When opening the TIB in the File Explorer, I see the backup, opening that shows the top level of folders on the disk I backed up. If I try to drag and drop one of those folders to another drive, I see a brief flurry of disk activity for 60-70 seconds, then..... nothing. It simply stops with no errors. If I right click on the folder and copy, then paste to the other disk, same thing. It seems to be doing something then it just stops.

Have you tried copy and paste rather than draging. Select the directory you want to copy, then right click and select copy. (shortcut Ctrl+C) Go to the location where you want to copy the directory to, and select past (short cut Crtl+V).

I did, if you read my post I mentioned that. The folder had over 200,000 files in nested folders. Too much for the drag and drop access!!  I eventually copied the TIB file to a portable USB disk, then TrueImage detected it and added it to its backups list. I was then able to restore to another portable USB, from which I was able to get the folder. Ugly but it worked.
