Reboot required in order to recover.

Thread needs solution

Whenever I want to recover the backup of my entire PC, Acronis True Image 2019 tells me that a computer restart is required and that the operation will be canceled if I choose not to restart the computer. If Ichoose to restart the PC, after the reboot Acronis tells me that the recovery was successful even tough it didn't because nothing changed.

The backup contains my entire PC and is placed on anexternal HDD. I'm currently running a trial version of Acronis True Image 2019, I'm planning on buying a license but only if it works of course....

If anybody experiences the same problem or knows a solution to this problem, please let me know.

 

Thanks in advance!

welcome to these public User Forums.

Any recovery that includes your Entire PC or even just your Windows OS drive / partition will always require a reboot if is started from within Windows - this has always been the case and will continue to be so because Windows is active and key files are locked by the OS etc.

I would strongly recommend that you create the Acronis Rescue Media while your Trial continues, and you should test booting from that rescue media in the same BIOS mode as used by your Windows OS.

Note: for a Windows restart to the Acronis standalone application to be successful would require that your Windows Boot Configuration Data (BCD) to be modified, and for your BIOS to allow booting from a temporary Linux environment.  Some UEFI BIOS systems with Secure Boot enabled will not allow this type of Linux boot!
