Recovery from continuous bacikup

Thread needs solution

TrueImage Home 2010. Am using the continuous backup feature and have been able to pick a time splice and recover files and folders. What I can not find is the way to do a system partition restore from a time splice. Also a complete disk restore. Have tried the manual for this without success.

A pointer hint as to how to do these tasks would be appreciated.

It's in Section 7.4 of the manual.

7.4. Recovering partitions protected with Acronis Nonstop Backup

You can recover partitions from Acronis Nonstop Backup Storage using the Recovery Wizard. Let's
first recover a data partition in Windows.

  1. Start Acronis True Image Home.
  2. Choose Recovery on the sidebar, then click the Disk backups tab on the right pane. Select the backup archive from which you want to recover files at the Nonstop Backup Storages area. Rightclick on the backup and choose Recover in the shortcut menu to start the Recovery Wizard.
  3. Click Next and then select Recover whole disks and partitions on the Recovery method screen.
  4. At the next step select the point in time at which the partition(s) to be recovered was in the desired state. You can select a point in time for the files that changed within the last 24 hours and a date for older backups. For backups that were made more than 30 days ago the program will keep weekly backups highlighting the dates for which backed up data is kept. Having selected the recovery point click Next.
  5. The next steps of the Recovery Wizard are similar to those performed when recovering data partitions or disks from a "classic" backup. For more information see Recovering data partition or disk (p. 87).

Depending on circumstances, recovery of the system partition may be performed both in Windows and after booting from your rescue media (when Windows does not start). Recovery in Windows is similar to recovery of a data partition, though it will require reboot. By the way, usually it is safer to recover the system partition using the rescue media.

When using the rescue media, the recovery procedure is very similar to the procedure used for recovering the system partition from a "classic" backup, except the Recovery point step that allows selecting the point in time to which you recover the system partition. For more information see Recovering your system partition (p. 82).
