7.2 Restoring files and folders from file archives

Here we describe how to restore files/folders from a file backup archive. You can restore
the desired files/folders from a disk/partition image as well. To do so, mount the image
(see

11.2.2 Mounting an image

) or start the image restoration and select Restore

specified files or folders (see

7.3 Restoring disks/partitions or files from images

1. Start the Restore Data Wizard by clicking on the restore operation icon in the main
program window.
2. Select the archive. If the archive is located in Acronis Secure Zone, select it to choose
the archive on the next step.

If the archive is located on removable media, e.g. CD, first insert the last CD and then

insert disks in reverse order when Restore Data Wizard prompts.

Data recovery directly from an FTP server requires the archive to consist of files no more

than 2GB in size. If you suspect that some of the files may be larger, first copy the entire

archive (along with the initial full backup) to a local hard disk or network share disk. See

notes and recommendations for supporting FTP server in

1.4.2 Supported storage

media.

If you added a comment to the archive, it will be displayed to the right of the drives tree.
If the archive was protected with a password, Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small
Business Server will ask for it. The comment and the Next button will be unavailable until
you enter the correct password.
3. If the selected archive contains incremental backups, Acronis True Image for Microsoft
Small Business Server will suggest that you select one of successive incremental backups
by its creation date/time. Thus, you can return the files/folders to a specific time and
date.

To restore data from an incremental backup, you must have all previous incremental

backups and the initial full backup. If any of successive backups is missing, restoration is

not possible.
To restore data from a differential backup, you must have the initial full backup as well.
