Acronis 11.5: Restoring from a system-specific recovery disk image on E: Type II

This task applies to the Type II FT Server model. Use this task to restore a server using an image made from that particular server. If restoring from a generic factory default image, use the appropriate task.
  1. Disconnect the AC power cabling from the bottom CPU/IO module.
  2. Perform the steps in this procedure on the top CPU/IO module.
  3. Make sure that media access is stopped and that the system on which you are working is not being used.
  4. Startup and in BIOS setup disable OS Boot Monitoring. Refer to related topics in this Topic Library.
  5. Manage connections as follows:
    1. Disconnect the mouse from the USB port, if it is currently connected.
      Note: A problem with Acronis 11.5 on the FT server requires this workaround. The mouse must be temporarily disconnected before booting into Acronis, then reconnected after Acronis fully loads.
    2. If not already connected, connect keyboard and monitor.
  6. Do the following:
    1. Insert the Recovery CD.
    2. Restart the machine. If there is a problem restarting, hold the standby button down for five seconds to force a hard shutdown. Then press the standby button again to startup.
    The system boots from the Recovery CD. The Acronis program loads.
  7. On the Acronis Rescue Media page, do the following:
    1. Use the keyboard arrow keys to select Acronis Backup and Recovery 11.5 (64-bit...) and then press Enter.
    2. Wait while Acronis fully loads. This can take a few minutes. When loaded, the Acronis Backup and Recovery page opens and displays a mouse cursor.
    3. Connect the mouse to the USB port.
    Note: A problem with Acronis 11.5 on the FT server requires this workaround. The mouse must be temporarily disconnected before booting into Acronis, then reconnected after Acronis fully loads.
  8. On the Acronis Backup and Recovery page, select Recover. The Recover Data page opens
  9. On the Recover Data page, under What to Recover page, select Select Data. The Data to Recover Selection dialog box opens.
  10. On the Data to Recover Selection dialog box, do the following:
    1. Select Browse.
    2. In the tree view, expand the Local Folders node.
    3. Select the E drive. Even though your backup is on the E drive, it is not yet visible.
    4. Click OK.
    On the Archive View tab, your backup name is listed.
  11. On the Archive View tab, select your backup.
  12. Under Backup contents, do the following:
    1. Select C: and D:.
    2. Click OK.
    The Data to Recover Selection dialog box closes.
