Acronis 11.5: Restoring from the generic recovery disk image Type II

Use this sub-task only as directed by the steps in the master task for restoring from a generic recovery disk image.

This task applies to the Type II FT Server model.

This task restores a server to its factory default state. For example, if you neglected to make a first birthday image, you might need to use this procedure. If the image from which you are restoring was made from the same, specific machine to which it is being restored, do not use this task.

Note: This procedure restores the server (C:, D:, and E: partitions) to its factory default condition. Passwords and other site-specific configurations are reset to factory defaults.

Make sure that media access is stopped and that the system on which you are working is not being used.
Disconnect the AC power cabling from the bottom CPU/IO module.
Perform the steps in this procedure on the top CPU/IO module.
Connect all motherboard NICs to LAN connections.
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.
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.
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.

3. Click OK.
On the Archive View tab, your backup name is listed.
On the Archive View tab, select your backup.
Under Backup contents, do the following:

When the data is successfully restored, click OK.
Close all Acronis pages and the Acronis main window. The machine restarts automatically.
Remove the recovery media while the machine is shutting down.
Wait until startup processes are complete on the top CPU/IO module. Leave the module running.
When prompted, enter the machine name. Make sure the name is identical to the name it previously had. After start up, one or more device discovery windows can open. Allow processes to complete without interference. At first start up after reimage, the system is in Embedded Security Update mode by default.
On the bottom CPU/IO module, connect AC power cabling. The module starts up.

Continue with the steps in the master task for restoring from a generic recovery disk image.
