Straight forward Guide to restoring from a previous differential backup taken (complete restore)

Thread solved

All,

There is likely a tutorial out there so I do apologize up front since I am not seeing it.  I basically do a backup every Sunday.  A full backup every 6 times, in-between 5 differentials.  I did some things this week and I basically want to "roll back", with a complete system restore to last Sunday's differential backup.

My windows 10 system is just fine and fully bootable/operational.

Thanks in advance on info on how to do this.

Scott, the process is fairly straight-forward and you can follow a tutorial in forum topic: [How to] recover an entire disk backup - and in particular the attached PDF document showing this process for recovery.

The key with any recovery is to select the specific file that you want to use as a starting point for the recovery, so the differential (or incremental) file that represents the point in time your system will be recovered to.  Acronis will recover all other data from any files in the version chain.

Note: you need to identify what BIOS mode is used by your Windows 10 OS - issuing msinfo32 in Windows will show this in the output report.  You must boot the Acronis Rescue media using the same BIOS mode in order for the recovery to be successful.

See KB 59877: Acronis True Image: how to distinguish between UEFI and Legacy BIOS boot modes of Acronis Bootable Media - with reference to the above note.
