Question about recovering

Thread needs solution

I'm in an IT dept. for a large company and I do most of the deployments, what I do is create a base image for a new system and then doing the pc roll outs I just recover the image and the deployments are quick, I just upgraded to 2018 from 2011, I put the target cmputer's hard drive in my drive caddy and recover the image from my local pc, now the one thing I've noticed with this version is that when I start to recover it wants to reboot, that's all fine and dandy but I need my pc to continue on so I can work on other things (we're the main help desk so I need my desktop accesible to me)

when it reboots it launches the acronis loader and wants to recover and I don't have access to my desktop, if I  cancel it and reboot THEN I can launch acronis and recover and it doesn't need a reboot.

any ideas on how to not have it reboot? with 2011 I could recover to a drive that's plugged into my caddy via usb abd minimize it and continue working

 

thanks!

Shawn, welcome to these User Forums.

I am sure that this issue came up during the Beta testing for ATI 2018 and was caused because ATI detected a valid OS install on the target disk selected for the Recovery / Restore, thus it required a reboot to continue.

If you delete the partitions on the target drive, or test this using an empty drive, you should find that you can do these restores from within Windows without rebooting.
