Recovery: Bootable media (Linux) doesn't see DVD volumes
Recovery: Bootable media (Linux) doesn't see DVD volumes
Background:
- Backed up WIN 10 based hard drive using Bootable media (Linux) onto 6 DVDs, writing successive volume numbers on each of the DVDs. NOTE: our customer requires backups to DVDs.
- Formatted a hard disk with MBR, disk same size as original WIN 10 disk.
When attempting to recover I inserted last DVD, selected "Recovery", and clicked on "Disk Recovery", which opened screen "Recovery Wizard". Clicked on Browse which opened the “Browse for Location” screen. The left panel displayed:
My Computer
- Acronis Cloud
- CD Drive (C:)
- Computers Near Me
- My FTP connections
- My NAS connections
The formatted hard disk doesn’t show up in the list and the CD drive is listed as (C:). If I double click on CD Drive (C:) the .tib file does not show up.
NOTE: As an experiment I backed up the WIN 10 disk to an external USB drive. In this case when I ran Disk Recovery the external and the internal drive to be restored showed up correctly under “My Computer” and the recovery worked correctly.
So why isn’t the hard drive listed and why doesn’t the .tib file show up on the DVD?
