@rrjustin Look at here : https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5204/script-fog-tools to decompress an image. I’ve build this tool to change level compression of a FOG image and update database depending the new compression.

Thanks @ch3i ! I’ll check it out and see how I can modify it to suit my needs, or if as Junkhacker stated the process may be easier to just virtualize the image again.

in order to explore the files for recovery, all you’ll need to do is decompress the partition images and then mount them on a Linux computer. i’ve never done it myself because of how long it takes to decompress the files and how quickly i can just deploy the image and recover the files i need

Thanks for your support @Junkhacker , I’ll take this into consideration. I’d ideally like to test both methods but if virtualizing is the quickest solution, I’ll take your suggestion and keep using it.
