Selecting an MBR
You will usually select the disk's MBR if:
The operating system cannot boot
The disk is new and does not have an MBR
Recovering custom or non-Windows boot loaders (such as LILO and GRUB)
The disk geometry is different to that stored in the backup.
There are probably other times when you may need to recover the MBR, but the above are the most
common.
When recovering the MBR of one disk to another Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 recovers Track 0,
which does not affect the target disk’s partition table and partition layout. Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 automatically updates Windows loaders after recovery, so there is no need to recover
the MBR and Track 0 for Windows systems, unless the MBR is damaged.

Files selection
To select a backup and files to recover:
1.
Select one of the successive backups by its creation date/time. Thus, you can revert the
files/folders to a specific moment in time.
2.
Specify the files and folders to recover by selecting the corresponding check boxes in the archives
tree.
Selecting a folder automatically selects all its nested folders and files.
Use the table to the right of the archives tree to select the nested items. Selecting the check box
for the
Name
column's header automatically selects all items in the table. Clearing this check box
automatically deselects all the items.
