Restoring a disk (partition) from
an image
As mentioned above (see "Running Acronis True Image Server "), Acronis True
Image Server can be run in several ways. However, disk restoration is always
performed in a single way.
We recommend you to restore disks from under Windows, using other ways only if
it doesn’t load.
Bootable media (e.g. a CD) you loaded from doesn’t keep you from using other CDs
with images. Acronis True Image Server is loaded entirely into the PC RAM, so you
can remove the bootable CD to insert an image disc.
To restore a partition from an image Acronis True Image Server must obtain
exclusive access
to this partition. This means no other applications should access it
at this time. So if you receive a message stating the partition can't be blocked, close
applications that use this disk and start over. If you can’t determine, which
applications use the disk, close them all.
Selecting an image to restore from
Find and select file containing an image of the required partition. The File Name
field will reflect its name and the Next will become available. If this image is
located in Acronis Secure Zone, select it to select the image on the next step.
