I have an external hard drive that has the back up from another computer on it. It has some files that I need to use now. Is there a way to get the individual files out or do I have to dump the back up into my current computer?

What software was used to create this backup?
Once we know that we can research (google) if that software has a browse feature.

external hard drive is a Toshiba HDTC605XK3A1 plug & play. I simply followed the prompts when I plugged it in to make a backup. I was leaving a job but had a lot of reference I needed to keep. I though doing it as a backup was easier than manually moving a few hundred files. I did not realize it would be an issue to browse and extract files individually
