Chapter 6. Restoring the backup data

under X Window system

This chapter describes data recovery using Acronis True Image Echo Server GUI under X

Window System. See

Chapter 12. Console mode

for using console.

6.1 Considerations before recovery

6.1.1 Restore under OS or boot from CD?

As mentioned above (

2.3 Running Acronis True Image Echo Server

), Acronis True Image

Echo Server can be run in several ways. We recommend that you first try to restore data

running Acronis True Image Echo Server under Linux, because this method provides more

functionality. Boot from the bootable media or use the Startup Recovery Manager (see

3.4

Acronis Startup Recovery Manager

)

only if the operating system does not load.

The boot CD from which you loaded the program does not keep you from using other CDs

with backups. Acronis True Image Echo Server is loaded entirely into RAM, so you can

remove the bootable CD to insert the archive disk.

If a backup image is located on bootable media, you might have a choice of using Acronis

One-Click Restore. This operation always restores the entire physical disk. Therefore, if

your disk consists of several partitions, the partitions which are missing from the image

will be lost. Please make sure that the image contains all disk partitions or you do not

need the partitions that are not imaged before using Acronis One-Click Restore. For more

information on Acronis One-Click Restore see

5.3.9 Media components

6.1.2 Network settings in rescue mode

When booted from removable media or by Startup Recovery Manager, Acronis True

Image Echo Server may not detect the network. Such might be the case if there is no

DHCP server in your network or your computer address was not identified automatically

for some reason.

To enable connection, specify network settings manually in the window, available at

Tools -> Options -> Network adapters.
