Chapter 6. Restoring the backup data

6.1 Restore under Windows or boot from CD?

As mentioned above (see

2 3 Running Acronis True Image Home

), Acronis True Image

Home can be run in several ways. We recommend that you first try to restore data running

Acronis True Image Home under Windows, because this method provides more functionality.

Boot from the bootable media or use the Startup Recovery Manager (see

3.4 Acronis

Startup Recovery Manager)

only if Windows does not load.

The boot CD from which you loaded the program does not keep you from using other CDs

with backups. Acronis True Image Home is loaded entirely into RAM, so you can remove the

bootable CD to insert the archive disk.

Be careful! Disk letters in standalone Acronis True Image Home might sometimes differ from

the way Windows identifies drives. For example, the D: drive identified in the standalone

Acronis True Image Home might correspond to the E: drive in Windows.

If a backup image is located on bootable media, you might have a choice of using Acronis

One-Click Restore. This operation always restores the entire physical disk. Therefore, if your

disk consists of several partitions, all of them must be included in the image. Any partitions

that are missing from the image will be lost. Please make sure that the image contains all

disk data or you do not need the partitions that are not imaged before using Acronis One-

Click Restore. For more information on Acronis One-Click Restore see

6.1.1 Network settings in rescue mode

When booted from removable media or by Startup Recovery Manager, Acronis True Image

Home may not detect the network. Such might be the case if there is no DHCP server in your

network or your computer address was not identified automatically for some reason.

To enable connection, specify network settings manually in the window, available at Tools -

> Options -> Network adapters.
