ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Server for Windows User Manual page 19

Backup using bootable media
You can boot the machine using the bootable media, configure the backup operation in the same way
as a simple backup plan and execute the operation. This will help you extract files and logical volumes
from a system that failed to boot, take an image of the offline system or back up sector-by-sector an
unsupported file system.
Recovery under operating system
When it comes to data recovery, you create a recovery task on the managed machine. You specify the
vault, then select the archive and then select the backup referring to the date and time of the backup
creation, or more precisely, to the time when the creation has started. In most cases, the data will be
reverted to that moment.
Examples of exceptions to this rule:
Recovering a database from a backup that contains the transaction log (a single backup provides multiple
recovery points and so you can make additional selections).
Recovering multiple files from a file backup taken without snapshot (each file will be reverted to the moment
when it was actually copied to the backup).
You also specify the destination where to recover the data. You can customize the recovery operation
using recovery options, such as pre/post recovery commands, error handling or notification options.
