Restore only Partition C (OS)

Thread needs solution

I have problems with Acronis snap deploy 5. I create an image of one of my computer where the backup is the C partition, the system reserve and MBR. I backup computer has two partitions, partition C and partition D
when i try to restore using snap deploy, partition D erased and lost.
Can I restore only the C partition without having to remove other partitions? I tried one computer before trying to more computers.
if there is an error when creating a master image or mistakes when deployed?

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to deploy only C partition without erasing others partitions on the target disk. All you need is just to specify a volume you need to deploy to. Use the "Replace volume:" option in the deployment template settings. For more information, please refer to the User Guide: "Target Disk Layout".

Best regards.

hey AlexanderK,

deployment template settings on my computer is not the same as you navigate the instructions manual. so I do not get to choose which partition will I restore.

What should I do to be like that?

Sorry, I did not mentioned that you had to select only one volume "C" on the "Select the volume you want to deploy" page of the template wizard. Have a look at the picture attached below. When you select only one volume (but not all volumes), the option "Replace volume:" appears in the template settings.

 

Best regards.
