Newbie please help.
ATIH 2010
I have a full backup in tib format.
I have 2 partions - one for win xp - one for my data ( inc my backup file )
My OS failed and I re-installed Xp before restoring the backup from within windows. Worked fine.
My question is - did I waste my time installing xp ? Could I have restored the backup from the partition some how without having to install XP first ?? If so what is the procedure please.
Any help appreciated.

Yes you could have restored everything, without installing XP first, if what you had was a disk and partition backup. See http://forum.acronis.com/forum/3426 section 3AA and BB.

Thanks to both of you, especially Pat L for the detailed explanation. It all makes much more sense now and no more installing Windows in the event of the next OS failure. Feeling pretty secure now thanx to Acronis :-))
