1. Invoke the Restore Data Wizard by clicking on the restore operation icon in the main
program window.
2. Click Next.
3. Select the archive. If the archive is located in Acronis Secure Zone, 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 Restore Data Wizard prompts.
Data recovery directly from ftp-server requires the archive to consist of files no more than 2
Gb in size. If you suppose that some of the files may be larger, first copy the entire archive
(along with the initial full backup) to a local hard disk or network share disk.
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 Workstation will ask for it.
The comment and the Next button will be unavailable until you enter the correct password.
4. Click Next.
5. If you are to restore files from an archive, containing incremental backups, Acronis True
Image Workstation will suggest that you select one of successive incremental backups by
date/time of its creation. Thus, you can return the files/folders to a certain moment.
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
impossible.
To restore data from a differential backup, you must have the initial full backup as well.
