User Guide

Note: The following steps assume that the system is bootable and that the agent is operational on the machine.

In case the system is corrupted, you must use a bootable media. To recover the system, boot the machine using

this media and perform similar steps.

1. Attach the hard drive you received to the machine that you want to recover. Or, you can copy

this hard drive's contents to a network share accessible from this machine.

2. Connect the console to the machine that you want to recover.

3. On the Actions menu, select Recover.

4. Under What to recover, in Archive, click Change. Browse to the attached disk or the network

share and select the archive from which you want to recover data.

5. In Data type, select Volumes.

6. In Content, click Change and then select only the system volume and the boot volume. By

default, all backed-up volumes are selected for recovery. You can also specify the date and time

to revert your system to if there is more than one backup in the archive.

Details. It is assumed that you can identify the system and boot volumes by their labels. For

Windows operating systems prior to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the system

volume and the boot volume are commonly the same.

7. Under Where to recover, select the disk where the master boot record (MBR) will be recovered

to.

8. Map each volume selected for recovery to a volume or an unallocated space on the destination

disk.

9. Click OK to immediately start the recovery.

For detailed information about recovery please refer to the context-sensitive help.
