Click Bare Metal Recovery in the main boot menu.
This will install and start the Online Backup service, and you will be prompted to log in. Use the credentials of the user that was authorized for the computer you are trying to restore.
Once you are logged in, select your backup storage account. Click Next.
- Select the computer whose backup you want to restore. Click Next.
- Select the backup plan to restore.
- Select the restore point.
- If prompted, confirm archive content retrieval.
- Provide your encryption password to decrypt encrypted content. If you have forgotten your password but enabled the Password Recovery feature before creating this backup plan, use the Management Console for the recovery procedure.
- Select the required partitions.
- To exclude some files and folders from the restore, click the partition size value in the Used column, then select the objects to exclude.
- To specify a custom partition size, click the value in the Target size column. Click Next.
Selected partitions must include system volumes, as they contain data required to boot the operating system.
Attempting to restore to smaller partitions may only succeed if no blocks in the backup image are used beyond the size of the new partition. If such blocks exist, the restore plan will fail with a 'block intersection exists' error. If restoring to a smaller partition is inevitable, make the partition as large as possible.
- Select the physical disk as the restore destination.
- If prompted, provide your encryption password to decrypt encrypted content.
- Finish the restore wizard to run the restore plan. For troubleshooting purposes, use the Send Logs link.
- Once the restore plan completes, restart the computer.
