queries to the files. When the user attempts to open files or launch applications, the
drivers receive the system queries and restore the sectors that are necessary for the
requested operation.
3. At the same time, Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server proceeds with the
complete sector-by-sector image restoration in the background. However, the 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 10-20GB image (most common
image size) takes about 10 minutes. The larger the image size, the more time you save.

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

), select the system disk image from Acronis Secure Zone, choose Use Active
Restore and in the next window click Proceed. In a few seconds the computer will
reboot to the restored system. Log in and start work – no additional reboots or other
actions are required.
