Some questions about ATI 2011 Plus Universal restore

Thread needs solution

Hello,
I have ATI 2011 + PLusPack newest Version.

I have a Dual bootmenu:
1. Primary Partion(active) with Win 7 32 Bit
2. Logical ( or primary, not active) Partion with Win 7 64 bit.(for testing and slowly change to the 64 BIT OS.

I Make a Backup from my Systempartition (32 Bit): I want to recovere : Universal Restore is enabel
2. I Make a Backup from Win 7 64 Bit: Universal Restore is not enabel ( no Function to see)

I Think that Universal Restore only works with the system Partition.

BUT:
If I want to change my hardware ( new PC): I can only use the Universale Restore for My win 7 32 Bit to integrate the image?

How can I integrate than my Win 7 64 Bit in a new PC if Plus Pack does not works???

Wolfgang,

I am not sure I quite understand.

When you say you don't see the universal restore, what are you doing? Are you recovering with ATI running from the recovery disk?

Hi Wolfgang,
The Plus Pack feature is available and to be used only in the restore process, not the backup process.

Hi all,

Thank you for your comments! Pat, Babac, thanks a lot for your help.

I just wanted to add a small clarification: Babac is absolutely right. Acronis Univresal Restore can be used only while recovering the backup with the operating system in it onto the dissimilar hardware.

You see, when you restore the image onto the another hardware, the OS may become unbootable due to the lack of necessary drivers for that particular hardware. Acronis Universal Restore is designed for adding the necessary drivers during the restoration process so that your machine could boot up.

You can find the detailed Guide with the step-by-step screenshot here.

Let us know if you have any questions, we will gladly help you!

It seems that the original question remains the same - UR is not prompted when recovering second partition because ... (it thinks there is no os? It is not primary active partition? whatever else? )
