Nevertheless, the user can start working.
2. Writes on the hard disk its own drivers, which intercept system queries to the files. When
the user opens files or launches applications, the drivers receive the system queries and
restore the sectors that are necessary for the current operation.
3. At the same time, Acronis True Image Home proceeds with the complete sector-by-sector
image restoration in the background. However, the system requested sectors have the
highest priority.
Finally, the image will be fully restored even if the user performs no actions at all. But if you
choose to start working as soon as possible after the system failure, you will gain at least
several minutes, considering that restoration of a 10-20 GB image (most common image
size) takes about 10 minutes. The larger the image size, the more time you save.

When performing Snap Restore, the current Acronis True Image Home version always
restores the entire system disk. Therefore, if your system disk consists of several partitions,
all of them must be included into the image. Any partitions which are missing from the
image will be lost.
If failure occurs, boot the computer from the bootable media or using F11. Start the
recovery procedure (see

window click Proceed. In a few seconds the computer will reboot to the restored system.
Log in and start work – no more reboots or other actions are required.
