I have two drives, A (Windows) and B (Tumbleweed). I created a full disk image with rescuezilla from drive A and stored it on drive B.
In rescuezilla I chose the storage location /mnt/backup/home/backup - this is on drive B.
So now, when booting Tumbleweed, I do not find the backup folder in the home directory. The image was successfully created, it is there somewhere, but I cannot see it.
So now, I do I access the image from Tumbleweed?
Thank you!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Drive B was mounted into the path (that only exists within Rescuezilla) called /mnt/backup.
If you selected a folder here named /home/backup then that's where it should reside.
The default folder name has a timestamp and a name like 2025-06-03-2007-img-rescuezilla and it contains just a bunch of files.
If the image was created without compression, you'd normally be able to access files using the 'Image Explorer (beta)' feature from within Rescuezilla, but it's not operational with the current Rescuezilla v2.6.0 (fixed in the upcoming v2.6.1).
Additionally, Rescuezilla is only currently available as a DEB package so not easily installed on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed so you can't use 'Image Explorer (beta)' from there either right now.

I did create the image using a bootable USB drive using rescuezilla iso.
When booting into Tumbleweed there is no folder /home/backup/.
Also when booting from USB drive an selecting /mnt/backup/home I do not see my files which I see when booting Tumbleweed (/home/)
I can see the image when booting from USB but not when booting Tumbleweed.
