Chapter 6. Restoring the backup data
6.1 Considerations before recovery
6.1.1 Restore under Windows or boot from CD?
As mentioned above (see 2.4 Running Acronis True Image Echo Server ), Acronis True
Image Echo Server can be run in several ways. We recommend that you first try to
restore data running Acronis True Image Echo 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 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 Server might sometimes
differ from the way Windows identifies drives. For example, the D: drive identified in the
standalone Acronis True Image Echo 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
5.3.10 Media components.
6.1.2 Network settings in rescue mode
When booted from removable media, RIS server or by Startup Recovery Manager, Acronis
True Image Echo 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.
