How to Debug a Failed Restore

Thread needs solution

My Win7 has become unhappy and it's taking 11 minutes from when I type in my password until the desktop becomes visible.

I thought, this is why I bought True Image 2013 and made a backup back in February.

1) I plugged in the backup USB drive and booted the Acronis disk.
2) I picked Clone System
3) I made the source disk be the USB and the destination my internal HDU
4) I checked the 'reboot when done box'.
5) Several hours later, the system rebooted and ... I don't see any change on my internal HDU.

Now what do I do?

You used the wrong function. You need to Restore the backup, not Clone.

But, was it a full disk backup?

Check out the many user guides and tutorials in the left margin of this forum, particularly Getting Started and Grover's True Image Guides which are illustrated with step-by-step screenshots.
