In normal mode you can run Acronis True Image Server from Windows by selecting

,

,

 Acronis True Image Server

 from Start 

→

 Programs. This will 

bring the program window on the screen.

Recovery Manager (provided you’ve installed it before; see "Acronis Startup 
Recovery  Manager").  To  do  this  press  F11  during  PC  boot  up,  when  you  see  a 

corresponding message. 

Acronis True Image Server

 will be run in the standalone mode 

allowing you to restore disks from previously created images. 

If disk data is totally corrupted and you can boot it (or if you haven’t installed 
restoring manager), you should use bootable media created during the installation. 

It will automatically load

allowing you to recover damaged 

partitions.
