Another Fail Restore attempt.
I have a simple backup file on an external for my 2 internal 500G drives.
With a bootable 2017 USBKey I am able to run DI and select the Backup file.
DI see my 2 500G drives but ghosts them out as a destination.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have been let down so many times in the past years by DI that I have a freeware Image backup and windows just in case knowing this would happen.
Maybe I'm getting old but not sure the last time Acronis Drive Image actually worked...

My 2 attempts today will be:
1: Just restore to bigger drive, maybe clone that to original drive.
2: Partition original drive to original sizes as Hackintosh may have re-partitioned etc.

Just an update to my solution.
By "adding" the destination disk Acronis seemed to clean the disk making it possible to specify as a destination. I stayed in partition mode and selected the un-allocated area.
All worked out in the end as I'm up and running. I should of stuck to disk mode to simplify the backup and recovery but I think Acronis also could rework the UI for a more intuitive workflow.

Glad that you have resolved the issue for this topic. One question, what is Acronis Drive Image aka DI that you have been referring to?
