Restoring a disk (partition) from an image
Chapter 5. Restoring a disk (partition) from
As mentioned above (see "Running Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows "),
Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows can be run in several ways. However,
disk restoration is always performed just one way.
We recommend that you restore disks using Windows, only using other methods if
Windows doesn't load.
The boot disk (e.g. a CD) from which you loaded the program does not keep you
from using other CDs with images. Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows is
loaded entirely into RAM, so you can remove the bootable CD to insert an image
disk.
To restore a partition (disk) from an image, Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for
Windows must obtain exclusive access to this partition (disk). This means no other
applications can access it at that time. If you receive a message stating the partition
(disk) can not be blocked, close applications that use this partition (disk) and start
over. If you can not determine which applications use the partition (disk), close
them all.
