Restoring my Boot Drive
For the first time I need to use the Restore Function in True Image Home 11. Very important I don't screw this up, so I am here asking. I made a backup of C\ drive in Startup Recovery Manager onto my D\ drive named Backup C2.tib. Couple of months later, I did the same procedure and that file is named Backup C.tib.
Now my Registry is really screwed up, and I would like to just lose the DATA between now and the last Backup and start fresh by restoring my C\ drive to the state it was in at last backup.
Please tell me the exact procedure to do when I activate the program at bootup and the recovery console is up and running.
Thanks again. Sorry to ask this kind of help, I just can't make an error on the restoration of C. Thanks

The good news is that, even if something goes wrong with the restore or for some reason you don't get all the partitions, you still have the backup so that y ou can try again or add each partition. Restoring to the same size drive is the easiest restore since you can tell ATI to restore the full disk and generally it will get the boot strap, hidden partitions, etc. al in the right locations and size without you having to worry about it.
good luck.

Phil,
Re-verify your comments. Open Windows Explorer and browse to your two backups. Look at the file dates and the file sizes.
Most likely, the Backup C.tib is the oldest and largest or the first full backup.
And the Backup C2.tib is the newer probably smaller or a incremental or differential type backup.
If the above is true, when selecting the backup to be restored, select the most recent file and all prior will be restored.
