9.3 Recovering using Large Scale Recovery

In these steps, you will recover a machine’s system and boot volumes from a disk backup. You will use

the Large Scale Recovery service to retrieve backups from the online storage on a hard disk instead of

over the Internet.

You need a separate license, called a Large Scale Recovery license, for each machine whose backups

you want to retrieve in this way.

Note: Recovering a system volume requires a machine reboot.

To recover data using Large Scale Recovery

Retrieving backups

Perform these steps on the account management Web page:

1. Buy a Large Scale Recovery license, if you do not yet have one.

2. Place a large scale recovery order, specifying:

 The machine whose backups you want to retrieve

 The address where you want the hard drive to be sent

After placing the order, wait until the hard drive arrives. The hard drive remains yours.

What else you may want to know before recovery

 You can recover the data an unlimited number of times on any machine you wish. Acronis

Universal Restore is included to help you recover an operating system to dissimilar hardware.

 If your archives are encrypted or password-protected, you will need to enter the password set by

you or your colleague during backup. Acronis does not know the password to your archives.

Recovering data

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. Start Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.

3. Click Recover.

4. Click Select data and then click Browse. Browse to the attached disk or the network share. Click

OK to confirm your selection.

5. Continue as described in Recovering volumes online (p. 26) starting from step 6.
