To choose the correct version, you can open the version in the associated application and view the

application.

4.8 Recovering to different hardware

Using Acronis Universal Restore (provided by separately purchased True Image 2013 Plus Pack) will

help you create a bootable system clone on different hardware. For more information see Acronis

Universal Restore (p. 100). Choose this option when recovering your system disk to a computer with

a dissimilar processor, different motherboard or a different mass storage device than in the system

you originally backed up. This may be useful, for example, after replacing a failed motherboard or

when deciding to migrate the system from a desktop to a laptop. You can use Acronis Universal

Restore for recovering your system disk both from tib and vhd files.

Acronis Universal Restore is unavailable when recovering the system partition from an Acronis Nonstop Backup.

Before proceeding with recovery, make sure you have drivers for the hard disk drive controller or

chipset drivers for the new motherboard. These drivers are critical for booting the operating system.

You can download the drivers for your motherboard on the Vendor's web-site. Please note that if

you downloaded the drivers in *.exe, *.cab, *.zip format, you should extract them first. The driver

files should have *.inf, *.sys or *.oem extensions.

4.8.1 Recovering your system with the help of Acronis Universal

Restore

1. Select on the Backup and recovery tab a backup containing your system partition.

2. Click the Recover button on the backup's box if the backup consists of a single version. When

there are several backup versions, click Explore and recover. Select the backup version you want

to recover on the Disks and partitions tab, and then click Recover.

3. When the Disk Recovery window opens, select the system partition's check box and choose the

recovery destination.

4. Select the Use Universal Restore check box. Then click Settings to open the Drivers manager

window.

5. If the target hardware has a specific mass storage controller (such as an SCSI, RAID, or Fibre

Channel adapter) for the hard disks, specify where to find the driver or drivers for the specific

hardware. If the driver is stored on a diskette or CD, select the Search removable media for

device drivers box. If some drivers are stored on a local hard disk or a network share, click Add

custom driver locations.... Then, browse to the driver or drivers location. After you finish

specifying the drivers locations, click OK.

Acronis Universal Restore does not support search for drivers on FTP servers.

In most cases, Acronis Universal Restore will use three sources for drivers:

- the removable media;

- the drivers storage location or locations specified at this step; and

- the Windows default driver storage folders (in the image being recovered).

The program will find the most suitable of all available drivers and install them into the recovered

system.

6. To start recovery, click the Recover now button.
