5.3.3 Disk recovery from Cloud
Disk recovery from Acronis Cloud is very similar to the recovery from an ordinary hard disk drive.
When you can start Windows and Acronis True Image 2015, please refer to Recovering partitions
and disks (p. 68).
When Windows cannot start, please refer to Recovering your system from Acronis Cloud (p. 79).
How it works
Your computer should be connected to the Internet either by an Ethernet cable or via Wi-Fi. Acronis
True Image 2015 supports several wireless security protocols, including WPA-Personal,
WPA2-Personal, and WPA2-Enterprise.
Recovery to the original location
When you recover a disk to the original location, Acronis True Image 2015 does not download the
entire disk space to your computer. It scans your disk searching for data changes and recovers only
those files that are different from files in the image. This technology significantly reduces the amount
of data you need to download in order to recover your disk.
Recovery to a new location
When you recover a disk to a different location or to an unallocated space, the process is very similar
to a recovery from a local storage. The only difference is in the data writing method. True Image
downloads and writes data by separate blocks, and not continuously. This technology increases
recovery speed and reliability of the entire process.
What if recovery has been interrupted
Since disk recovery from Acronis Cloud uses an Internet connection and usually takes a long time, the
probability of the recovery interruption is higher comparing to recovery from an ordinary hard disk.
Possible reasons of recovery interruption:
