How to bare-metal restore with Acronis 11 Backup & Recovery Server for Windows

Thread needs solution

I am a new user of Acronis and want to use it as DR solution for my Windows 2003 server.

I tried to test bare-metal restore with the following procedures:

1. Install the software
2. Perform a full backup of C: to personal vault in D:
3. Create a bootable media ISO and burn it into CD
4. Boot the machine from bootable media CD
5. I cannot find archived vault in D:, why?

Leaving aside hardware compatibility, when disks can't be seen at all, drive letters are different in windows and bootable media. Under bootable media C: may be windows reserved partition, and D: is what was C: under windows. If you are sure that you're searching on the right volume, and assuming that steps you perform are 'recover' -> 'select data'->'browse' note that this dialog doesn't display the content on the right side - it's intentionally left blank. You need to press ok on the folder where you think you created that vault and get back to the previous dialog.

Hello Yana,

Actually I am not very clear about bare-metal recover procedures of Acronis, where can I find the document about it.
I only get trial version on hand, will it different from full licensed product?
My supervisor has placed an order of Acronis 11 Backup & Recovery Server for Windows, I need to implement it in production server next month!!!

I can see all the folders in C: and D: , but when I try to load the vault in D: I see nothing.

I can see the vault and load all backup archives when I launch the console in Windows OS, but I need to test how to recover the server when OS crashes.
