Can I Restore a Windows OS Drive from File-Level Backups?
I've been working on this problem for a week and need some help. I had been using Disk Drill but ran into lack-of-manual problems with them, so I bit the bullet and paid for an Acronis license.
Disk Drill created a full backup image without issues, but I couldn't figure out how to then restore it onto a new C drive. Nearly all of their manuals gave Mac commands but not Windows commands. When I instead used Acronis, Acronis wouldn't make the backup image. It started then said it was going to start over. It started over and gave a generic failure error. I clicked for more information and it said the error is generic. It never gave me any actionable information.
I then did a file-level backup and it hit problems on two fairly meaningless files. I had it skip the errors and it's run through without a problem. My disk utility reports 8 "uncorrectable sector count" and 9 "current pending sector count". So maybe those are the places it is jamming.
So in any case I either need a way to:
1) Run the image backup and have it just skip those two bad sectors as they don't matter anyway. Then I can restore it on my new disk.
2) Restore the C drive onto my new disk from the file level backup. Can I just also back up the MBR and restore it and have what I need? What else would the file level backup have missed? I already have the partitions set up properly on the new C drive including the two smaller partitions with the recovery info.
Thanks!
Lisa
