How to restore your computer using Acronis Backup and Recovery

At other post I have written about how to backup your computer using Acronis Backup and Recovery.

The methods I use are :

Using local backup, backup save in the same place as system reside but in different partition ( partition E)
Using network with FTP server, all data backup on FTP server that reside in other computer (server).

There is other method that Acronis Backup and Recovery support but I prefer those method since I already have FTP server ( in case you want to install and configure simple FTP server on your windows you may check previous post related in the last post).

Today I want to continue with Restore / Recover using Acronis Backup and Recovery in step by step method.

Just see following picture that I made during reconstruction.

1. Open your Acronis Backup and Recovery from Programs, choose Local server.

Click on Recover icon ( Recover the data from a backup archive by your backup plan).
