Recovering True Image archive on Surface Book via Rescue Media
I'm trying to recover partitions in an Acronis True Image archive onto the internal hard drive of a Surface Book without much luck.
I created a Rescue Media USB drive using the Acronis Rescue Media Builder tool (Acronis True Image 2021 build 39216 ) and incorporated drivers for the Surface Book. I selected the Windows Recovery Environment option when creating the Rescue Media USB drive.
Note the True Image archive file is on a separate USB drive.
When I attempted to recover the partitions in the archive file to the internal hard disk of the Surface Book after booting up from the Rescue Media USB drive, I received an error that the archive was corrupt and the operation did not succeed (see file Surface Recovery.png). When I validated the archive file on the Surface Book from the Rescue Media USB, I received a message that the archive file was corrupt (see file 48A65610-6985-4B41-B846-8C3352667745.tib.log and trueimg_pe.0.log)
When I plugged the USB drive with the archive file into a separate desktop running Windows 10 and Acronis True Image 2021 build 39216 and then recovered the partitions on the archive to another disk, the operation completed successfully (see file ti_demon_FEE950C7-BFA4-4887-9314-2E5C00ADF688_F652CC56-8B69-4CA0-BDD2-6A585BD24535_2021-05-04-15-23-46.log). When I validated the archive file on this desktop, Acronis True Image indicated that the archive was valid (see file ti_demon_84D3531C-2782-468F-A2C1-3DC299162C7D_B68BEF82-C69C-4BEC-9657-6D347D371CF7_2021-05-04-12-32-29.log).
I am unable to find a means to recover the partitions in the archive file onto the Surface Book using the Rescue Media USB drive. Although the recovery and validation operations failed on the Surface Book using the Rescue Media USB drive, the same operations succeeded on a different system (on the exact same archive file!). As I am unable to remove the internal hard drive of the Surface Book, I need to find a means of recovering the partitions in the archive via some other means. I had expected that to be via the Rescue Media USB, but it isn't working.
Note that I attempted validation and recovery on the Surface Book using two separate USB hard drives containing the True Image archive in order to understand whether the hard drive on which the archive resided played a role in the problem. With both USB drives, both validation and recovery failed.
I appreciate if anyone has any advise or ideas. Paolo
