Operation Manual

6.2 Restoring files and folders from file archives

Here we describe how to restore file/folders from a file backup archive. You can restore the

desired files/folders from a disk/partition image as well. To do so, mount the image (see

Chapter 12. Exploring archives and mounting images

) or start the image restoration and

select Restore specified files or folders (see

6.3 Restoring disks/partitions or files from

images

1. Invoke the Restore Data Wizard by clicking on the restore operation icon in the main

program window.

2. Select the archive. If the archive is located in Acronis Secure Zone or in a backup location,

select it to choose the archive on the next step.

If the archive is located on removable media, e.g. CD, first insert the last CD and then insert

disks in reverse order when the Restore Data Wizard prompts you.

Data recovery directly from an FTP server requires the archive to consist of files of no more

than 2GB. If you suspect that some of the files are larger, first copy the entire archive (along

with the initial full backup) to a local hard disk or network share disk. See notes and

recommendations for supporting FTP server in

1.3.4 Supported storage media

If you added a comment to the archive, it will be displayed to the right of the drives tree. If

the archive was protected with a password, Acronis True Image Home will ask for it. The

comment and the Next button will be unavailable until you enter the correct password.

3. If you are to restore files from an archive containing incremental backups, Acronis True

Image Home will suggest that you select one of successive incremental backups by its

creation date/time. Thus, you can roll back the files/folders state to a certain date.

To restore data from an incremental backup, you must have all previous incremental backup

files and the initial full backup. If any of successive backups is missing, restoration is not

possible.

To restore data from a differential backup, you must have the initial full backup as well.
