ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Server for Windows User Manual page 43

4. Configure the system recovery: select the system disk or volume and select the Use Acronis
Active Restore check box.
Acronis Active Restore will choose for the boot-up and subsequent recovery the first operating system found
during the backup scan. Do not try to recover more than one operating system using Active Restore if you
want the result to be predictable. When recovering a multi-boot system, choose only one system volume
and boot volume at a time.
5. Once the system recovery is started, the operating system boots from the backup. The Acronis
Active Restore icon appears in the system tray. The machine becomes operational and ready to
provide necessary services. The immediate user sees the drive tree and icons and can open files
or launch applications even though they were not yet recovered.
The Acronis Active Restore drivers intercept system queries and set the immediate priority for
recovery of the files that are necessary to serve the incoming requests. While this on-the-fly
recovery proceeds, the continuing recovery process is transferred to the background.
If you try to log off, shut down or hibernate the machine using the Start Menu commands, the end of the
current session will be automatically postponed until the recovery is completed. Should you decide to switch
off the machine with the Power button though, all the changes made to the system since the last boot up
would be lost, the system will not be recovered, not even partially, and the only possible solution in this case
will be to start the recovery process anew, from a bootable media.
6. The background recovery continues until all the selected volumes are recovered, the log entry is
made and the Acronis Active Restore icon disappears from the system tray.
