recovery error

Thread needs solution

Running 11.5.43800, trying a disk-disk recovery.  I get the following error:

"Cannot copy the disk because the available size of the target disk (465.8gb) is less than the required size (466.0gb)."

I assumed that Acronis would resize the image.    Is there a setting somewhere to force it to do that?

Hello Earl,

It is only possible to restore a disk image to a smaller drive if the smaller drive has enough space to accommodate the occupied space of the larger disk (e.g. if you have a 200 GB disk with 100 GB occupied space, you can transfer image of this disk to a 150 GB drive, but not to 80 GB disk).

You may want to consider excluding a part of data from the backup to make it fit the target drive.
