ATI2021: Backups > Recovery > Disks tool. Destination SSD Does Not Appear
Summary
I’m using the ATI2021 Backups > Recovery > Disks tool. (See Image-1). However the destination SSD does not appear in the Recover-To drop down. Does the SSD need to initialized to appear.
Drives Overview
I have three drives:
1. (B) A working temporary Boot drive (Windows OS). This was my previous OS-system HD, which I migrated to an SSD. (SSD later failed.)
2. (S) Source drive. An external drive with ATI system backup files (tibx) of the failed SSD.
3. (D) Destination drive. A new blank SSD to be used to restore from the tibx backup files. It does appear in Windows Disk Manager (see Image-2). It’s not initialized. It’s connected via internal SATA.
Step Details
Booting from (B), I’m able to get to the desktop and open ATI2021. Once there, I select the Backup > Recovery > Disks. (Image-1.) It correctly recognizes my backup files (S) under the “Backup” panel.
However my new blank destination SSD (D) does not appear in the “Recover To” dropdown.
Question
Main question: Does (D) need to be initialized to appear in the “Recover To” dropdown? Or is there some other reason it’s not appearing.
As mentioned, I want to use (D) as the destination drive to Restore my OS-System from backups. Later, I would use this to replace (B).
Thank you.

Thanks Steve. The drive appeared after I initialized it.
