If you want to recover the partition to the state it was at an earlier date, click the gear icon to open
the Operations menu and then click Recover files. This opens Acronis Backup Explorer and you can
select the image backup version created on that date. Clicking Recover after selecting the required
version opens the Disk Recovery window.
1. Select the corresponding check box of the partition to recover.
If you backed up an entire disk, you can choose to recover the entire disk at once by clicking Switch to disk
mode. To be able to select partitions again, click Switch to partition mode.
2. In the recovery destination field below the partition name, select the destination partition. Those
partitions where the partition to be recovered can fit are marked by black lettering. Unsuitable
partitions are marked by red lettering. Note that all data on the destination partition will be lost
because it is replaced by the recovered data and file system.
To recover an image to the source partition without resizing, at least 5% of free space is required on the
partition. Otherwise, the Recover now button will be unavailable.
3. After you finish with your selections, click Recover now to start recovery.
Sometimes you need to recover the MBR (Master Boot Record). For instance, it may be necessary
when Windows does not boot after recovery. To recover the MBR (either together with the partition
or individually), click Show MBR and then select the MBR check box.
If you recover the entire disk, the Recover disk signature check box appears. Disk signature is a part
of a hard disk MBR. It is used for uniquely identifying the disk media.
We recommend that you select the Recover disk signature check box due to the following reasons:
True Image 2013 creates scheduled backups using the signature of the source hard disk. If you
recover the same disk signature, you don't need to re-create or edit the backups created
previously.
Some installed applications use a disk signature for licensing and other purposes.
We recommend that you clear the Recover disk signature check box when:
You use an image backup not for disaster recovery but for cloning your Windows hard drive to
another one.
