10.1.9 Setting recovery options

Clicking Options at the Finish step allows selecting the options for the recovery process (that is,

recovery process priority, etc.). The settings will be applied only to the current recovery task. Or, you

can edit the default options. See Setting default recovery options for more information.

10.1.10 Executing recovery

Up to this point, you can make changes in the created task by choosing the step you want to change

and editing its settings. If you click Cancel, no changes will be made to the disk(s). Clicking Proceed

will launch the task execution.

The task progress will be shown in a special window. You can stop the procedure by clicking Cancel.

However, it is critical to note that the target partition will be deleted and its space unallocated – the

same result you will get if the recovery is unsuccessful. To recover the "lost" partition, you will have

to recover it from the image again.

10.2 Setting default recovery options

To set the recovery options to be used by default during any data recovery, select Tools & Utilities →

Options → Recovery options. You can always restore the default recovery options to the values

preset during installation of Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup. To do this, click Reset the

current to default on the toolbar of the Options window. To reset just a single recovery option,

select it on the left pane and click Reset the current to default.

Clicking Reset all to default will reset all the default options (for backup, recovery, etc.) to their preset values, so

this button should be used with caution.

10.2.1 File recovery options

You can select the following file recovery options:

 Recover files with their security settings - if the file security settings were preserved during

backup (see Backup security settings), you can choose whether to recover them or let the files

inherit the security settings of the folder where they will be recovered to. This option is effective

only when recovering files from file/folder archives.

 Validate backup archive before recovery - if you suspect that the archive might have been

corrupted, check this option to verify the backup before recovery. To check archive data integrity

you must have all the incremental backups belonging to the archive and the initial full backup. If

any of the successive backups are missing, validation is not possible.

 Check the file system after recovery - check this parameter to verify the integrity of the file

system after recovery. Verification of the file system is available only when recovering

disks/partitions under Windows and for FAT16/32 and NTFS file systems. Note, that the file

system will not be checked if a reboot is required during recovery, for example, when recovering

the system partition to its original place.

10.2.2 Overwrite file options

This option is not applicable to recovery of disks and partitions from images.

By default, the program will overwrite existing files and folders, though more recent files and folders

are protected from overwriting.
