Backup file to one PC, restore to another

Thread needs solution

I backup my data as files (not disc images) to a network drive using Acronis 2012 on 2 different machines. If one crashes, how do I restore some of its files onto the other machine? The crashed computer's backup set does not show up in on Acronis on the good computer. Specific steps please. Thanks.

If it's just a matter of restoring some files, rather than a system restore, you have various options:

- You can boot from the ATI bootable Rescue Media and choose a files/folders restore, selecting the files and folders you wish to restore.

- If ATI is installed, you could mount the backup and copy files/folders from it to the drive.

- If ATI is installed, you could double-click the backup to open it in Windows Explorer, then copy files/folders from it to the drive.

- Within ATI, right-click on the backup you wish to restore from and select "Recover Files".

That gives you four methods, so at least one should suit you. :)
