Cannot restore to same drive - greyed out
Hi,
I made a backup of Ubuntu, things got to a point that I needed to do a restore and I'm seeing my drive as greyed out, this is the same drive that the backup originated from. I'm using the Acronis CD to do the backup and restore.
Please help!

Bob, just for clarity, if Javier is running Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 filesystems on his Ubuntu system drive, then these are supported for doing disk or partition backup/recovery operations as per the ATIH 2016 User Guide page you referenced.
Javier, can you confirm that you are using ATIH 2016 build 6581 (the latest build) and that you have created the Rescue Media on CD from this build, or have downloaded the CD ISO image from your Acronis Account to use to boot the system.
What type of backup have you made of your Ubuntu system, is this an entire disk & partitions backup on a system only running Ubuntu?
Screen shots of the steps you are taking to try the restore would be helpful if you can attach them.

Steve, that is correct per the note on the referenced page. The OP not stating such facts as file system in use but indicating Ubuntu as the OS brings into question the underlying disk subsystem thus my reply. Sorry for not explaining better to begin with.
