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 Server
), Acronis True Image
Server can be run in several ways. We recommend that you first try to restore data running
Acronis True Image Server 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 Server 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 Server might sometimes differ
from the way Windows identifies drives. For example, the D: drive identified in the
standalone Acronis True Image Server 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, the partitions which are missing from the image will be
lost. Please make sure that the image contains all disk partitions 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
5.3.10 Media components
.
6.1.1 Network settings in rescue mode
When booted from removable media, RIS server or by Startup Recovery Manager, Acronis
True Image Server 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.
