Any way to perform an automatic restore?
Hi, I recently purchased Acronis True Image Home 2011 and the Plus Pack. I was wondering if it's possible to make a bootable image that would automatically restore partition images to a system with minimal user input?
I know how to make a bootable image, but it involves too many steps, and our company's clients (who may be computer illiterate) would find difficult to follow, and it would be difficult to write up instructions for them to do so. I was under the impression there was a one-click restore option.

There is no way to automate the recovery in ATI. The simplest workflow is to use the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (press F11 at boot times) and launch the recovery from there.
The ATI lite guide does a pretty good job at illustrating a restore operation: http://www.acronis.com/download/docs/atih2011/getstart p21.

You can't use the One-Click Restore feature for restoring partitions. This option is only available when creating a backup of the entire drive (all partitions on the drive) and only when saving to removable media.
I would suggest you try the entire procedure (Backup, Validate, One-Click Restore) and make sure it works properly before giving it to the clients. Different media (DVD, USB, etc.) may have different results -- test what will be used.
