Excluding files from a disk restore

Thread needs solution

I have a machine that became unbootable after a windows update. Unfortunately all the backups I have already have the offending update downloaded and ready to install. As soon as I restore the backup from the bootable media, windows tries to install it and becomes unbootable again.

Is it possible to somehow exclude files/folders from a disk backup?

Acronis version: 12.5.14330
Machine OS: Windows 7 Pro

Hello Peter,

thank you for posting this question on Acronis forums!

I suggest that you boot into Windows Safe Mode right after restore and delete these update's files manually.

Unfortunately, file exclusion is not available when restoring from bootable media.

 

Hello Maria!

Good idea! I completely forgot about Safe Mode for this type of problem. Meanwhile I decided to reinstall windows instead for other reasons.
