Chapter 7. Restoring the backup data
7.1 Considerations before recovery
7.1.1 Restore under Windows or boot from CD?
As mentioned above (see
2.5.1 Running Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server
(local version)
), Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server can be run in several ways.
We recommend that you first try to restore data running Acronis True Image Echo
Enterprise Server under Windows because this method provides more functionality. Boot
from the bootable media or use the Startup Recovery Manager (see
3.4 Acronis Startup
Recovery Manager)
only if Windows does not load.
The boot CD from which you loaded the program does not keep you from using other CDs
with backups. Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server is loaded entirely into RAM, so
you can remove the bootable CD to insert the archive disk.
Be careful! Disk letters in standalone Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server might
sometimes differ from the way Windows identifies drives. For example, the D: drive
identified in the standalone Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server might correspond
to the E: drive in Windows.
If a backup image is located on bootable media, you might have a choice of using Acronis
One-Click Restore. This operation always restores the entire physical disk. Therefore, if
your disk consists of several partitions, the partitions that are missing from the image will
be lost. Please make sure that the image contains all disk partitions or you do not need
the partitions that are not imaged before using Acronis One-Click Restore. For more
information on Acronis One-Click Restore, see
6.3.10 Media components.
7.1.2 Network settings in rescue mode
When booted from removable media, RIS server or by Startup Recovery Manager, Acronis
True Image Echo Enterprise Server may not detect the network. This can occur if there is
no DHCP server in your network or if your computer address was not identified
automatically for some reason.
To enable a network connection, specify network settings manually in the window
available at
Tools -> Options -> Network adapters.
