How do I use 2016 to restore a usb hard drive

Thread needs solution

I have an image on my laptop that I created with 2011 and I want to restore it to a USB hard drive. I have just installed 2016 but I can't find anywhere to do this.

I am not 100% sure what you wish to do. Last time I checked there was no definitive information on if ATI 2016 will restore disk images created by ATI 2011. ATI 2015 can "restore, mount and explore (deploy) backups created with" Acronis True Image 2016, Acronis True Image Cloud (Release 2016), Acronis True Image 2015 and Acronis True Image 2014 [1689: Backup Archive Compatibility Across Different Product Versions]. It is unclear which of these functions is not available for ATI 2011.

Is the backup listed in the list of backup tasks; if not click on the circle with what appears to be an upside-down arrow head next to the Add Backup tab, and you will see "Add existing backup"; click on this and browse for the backup.

Once the backup is included in the lest, select the backup task, then click on either 'recover disk' or 'recover files' (the options appearing will change dependent on the nature of the original backup).
