I use Acronis True Image to back up my entire HD. I back up all files
to create a system disk image. Now - what if I have this image on a
separate USB backupdrive. Next thing is the hard drive on the XP
computer irrevocably fails. Then I get a new blank formatted HD
installed. What do I do at that point to get it all back on the new
computer drive? Don't I need the setup files that were on the
original failed drive, and the acronis program, to bring it all back?
Nope. You do not need the original setup files as you to with ntbackup. You need the Acronis boot CD or another host system with TI installed, your backup image, and the new drive.
This is called disaster recovery? Not restoring.
Thanks.
Either you had made and now use the boot CD that Acronis helps you make, which will walk you through restoring the image to the new drive, or you attach the new drive to another system with TI installed (even the trial version) and restore the image that way.
