Can I restore (a workstation) onto an HDD USB plugged on the admin server ?

Thread needs solution

Hi,
Here is the issue :
- 1 desktop's HDD crashes
- no IT ressource on site
- 1 HDD (spare) plugged on the Acronis admin server (via USB box)

The only way to restore ASAP the desktop is to do remotely the job.

Can I restore (a workstation) onto an HDD USB plugged on the admin server ?

Hello Olivier,

Thank you for posting your question, I will be happy to help.

If you have Acronis Agent on the admin server, there shouldn't be any difficulties in getting the access to the archive and restoring it to the hard drive. But I assume that no IT ressource on site means that you don't have Acronis Agent installed. In this case the only way to recover the archive using the admin computer is to boot the system from Acronis Bootable Media and perform the recovery under it.

Please do not hesitate to ask additional questions if the provided information is not clear or you need a further assistance. 

Thank you.
