At the conclusion of a successful full restore, what should the last screen look like?

Thread needs solution

Hi. I have Acronis True Image Home 11. When Acronis has successfully completely a restoration of a disk image (restore a full backup), what should that last screen shot look like? I'm wondering what should I see on the screen to indicate that a successful restoration has been completed. Twice, the final screen I saw was a blue screen with the letters "EN" shown in the lower right corner. Once, the final screen look like I was in the recovery console (I'm not sure since I've never intentionally went there; it was a black screen with white letterings, with some wordings about recovery commands). The PC freezes at that point.

As far as I know, all 3 restorations were successful -- or so I think and hope. I just re-booted by holding down the power button (had no choice) and then turning the PC back on and everything seemed to work fine. I'm just seeking confirmation here since I haven't seen an Acronis screen that says something like "Operation is successfully completed", which is what I see on the screen each time a successful full backup is made (and what I would like to see after a successful restore).

Thanks...

Hello Bokman,

Thank you for your post. I will certainly help you with your question.

I have restored a backup on my virtual machine using Acronis True Image Home bootable media build 8101. It is more reliable to restore images from the bootable media than from Windows. After the backup was complete, I got a pop-up saying - The data was successfully restored. I have attached a screenshot to my post with this message.

I believe what you experienced was more of a GUI issue, since you were able to boot your restored OS without any problem.

Would you be kind to clarify, which way you restored, Windows/bootable CD, which build you are using and was the bootable CD created with the program or you downloaded it from your Acronis web-account?

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.

Hello Anton -

I hope you're still there. After a while, I thought no one was going to reply to my question, so unfortunately I stopped checking on my question. Thanks for your reply.

In answer to your questions, I am (still) using Acronis True Image 11.0 Home, with build 8053. I restored the disk image using Windows (not with a bootable CD). The bootable CD I have and used to install the software originally, came with the boxed version of the software which I purchased at a brick and mortar store, but I did not use it to restore my disk image. I am running XP SP3. I'm still having the same issue as described in my original posting.

(Note: I recently tried to update to the latest build 8101. I downloaded the update from the Acronis website, installed the update, and re-booted my PC with no problem. However, when I ran the software, a window popped up that invited me to try out the newly installed TRIAL version of the software! So I went through the process again to be sure I downloaded the right update file. This time I even uninstalled the old build first. I got the same result. Opening the software only gave me an invitation to try out the just-installed trial version of the software. I could not get to the fully paid updated version that I thought I had just downloaded and installed. Fortunately, I was able to use restore point to get back my software with build 8053.)

Can you help?

Thanks...
