7.2 Restoring files and folders from file archives
Here we describe how to restore file/folders from a file backup archive. You can restore the
desired files/folders from a disk/partition image as well. To do so, mount the image (see
Chapter 12. Mounting an image as a virtual drive ) or start the image restoration and select
Restore specified files or folders (see 7.3 Restoring disks/partitions or files from
images ).
1. Invoke the Restore Data Wizard by clicking on the restore operation icon in the main
program window.
2. Click Next.
3. Select the archive. If the archive is located in Acronis Secure Zone, select it to choose the
archive on the next step.
If the archive is located on removable media, e.g. CD, first insert the last CD and then insert
disks in reverse order when Restore Data Wizard prompts.
Data recovery directly from an FTP server requires the archive to consist of files no more
than 2GB in size. If you suspect that some of the files may be larger, first copy the entire
archive (along with the initial full backup) to a local hard disk or network share disk. See
notes and recommendations for supporting FTP server in 1.5.4 Supported storage media.
If you added a comment to the archive, it will be displayed to the right of the drives tree. If
the archive was protected with a password, Acronis True Image Workstation will ask for it.
The comment and the Next button will be unavailable until you enter the correct password.
4. Click Next.
5. If the selected archive contains incremental backups, Acronis True Image Workstation will
suggest that you select one of successive incremental backups by date/time of its creation.
Thus, you can return the files/folders to a certain moment.
To restore data from an incremental backup, you must have all previous incremental
backups and the initial full backup. If any of successive backups is missing, restoration is not
possible.
To restore data from a differential backup, you must have the initial full backup as well.
