My backups are stored on an external drive connected via Firewire. I have verified the process described here using Acronis True Image 2013 for Windows, Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit, installed on an early 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan. Recovery media for the version of Windows being restored (can be full install media or a recovery disk).Licensed Acronis True Image bootable media (ideally for the same version used to create the backup, but this is not a hard requirement).Connected external storage with TIB file to be restored (using the highest transfer-rate interface available).Based on this forum thread, I’m not the only person who’s run into this issue either.įortunately, despite being an unsupported configuration I have been able to reproducibly restore a working Bootcamp partition without having to also restore the OS X partition, using the process described below. Their recommended solution is to use Acronis for Mac and include the Bootcamp partition in those backups.
The crux of the issue is that I am using an unsupported configuration of Acronis True Image – per this article, Acronis does not support installing True Image for Windows in a Bootcamp partition and using it to create and restore backups of that partition. Today’s post is a bit of a swerve from the usual PowerShell I recently encountered difficulties restoring a backup of my Windows install created with Acronis True Image that took a while to understand, so I thought it would be interesting to write up.
