Recovery of Full Backup to a different disk
I had a Kingston SSD on my Dell PC running Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64 bit. The SSD crashed and became inaccessible. I had Acronis True Image 2016 on it and had backed up the entire disk to an external hard drive.
Kingston replaced the SSD and I used the Dell re-installation DVD to restore the original Windows OS to it. I have since then re-downloaded Acronis True Image 2016, Build 6571 to it.
I still have the original HDD installed and I now wish to restore the backup to it so that I can get at my documents, photographs etc.
However, I cannot find out how to achieve this. The Acronis Home screen does not seem to offer a Restore facility nor can I find anything useful on the Acronis web site.
Any advice would be most welcome. There is probably a very simple answer but I seem to be missing it!

Hi William, I'm a bit confused? You got a replacement disk, have installed a fresh OS on it, but still have the failed drive with the original content and want to restore data back to it? Is that correct?
If so, I would abandon that effort. That SSD failed for a reason. Whatever data was on it may be bad now. You could restore an image and hope for the best, but if you have a new/working drive, I would let things be. If you want to restore data (documents, pictures, files, music, etc), then you can just connect the drive with your backup and double click on the .tib backup file and it should open up in Windows File Explorer and you can copy/paste out of it as needed. This works for DATA (not applications, settings, etc). If you want to do a full system restore, than I'd go with FrtPilot's recommendation and do this with your offline recovery media as the hard drive will need to be idle when restoring any parition. Starting such a restore from within Windows will require a reboot anyway, but will also change the default bootloader with Acronis' bootloader and that has the potential to go side-ways if it fails to boot and cannot automatially be restored. Using your recovery media is just as easy and a safer way to start a full disk or parition recovery.
For data recovery, double clicking a tib and copy and paste is the easiest. You can also right click a tib and "mount" as a drive letter and copy/paste from it. To restore from within the Acronis Windows GUI, you need to "add existing backup" as shown in the attache screenshot. From there, you can then select "recover" in the lower section.
