4 Recovering data
The purpose of data backup is to recover backed up data when the original is lost due to hardware
failure, fire, theft or accidental deletion of files.
We hope that you backed up your system and data using the backup features provided by True
Image 2013. If so, nothing will have been lost.
The following sections describe how to recover disks, partitions, files and folders. In most cases, you
will use Acronis Backup Explorer to recover files and folders. For more information, see Acronis
Backup Explorer (p. 26).

Preparing for recovery (p. 79) and then proceed with recovering your system.
4.1.1 Trying to determine the crash cause
A system crash can be due to two basic factors. One reason is that your computer will not boot due
to a hardware failure. The second reason is that the operating system is corrupted and Windows will
not start up.
In the first scenario, it is better to let your service center handle the repairs. However, you may want
