Disk recovery from Acronis Cloud is very similar to the recovery from an ordinary hard disk drive.
How it works
Your computer should be connected to the Internet either by an Ethernet cable or via Wi-Fi. Acronis True Image 2021 supports several wireless security protocols, including WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, and WPA2-Enterprise.
Recovery to the original location
When you recover a disk to the original location, Acronis True Image 2021 does not download the entire disk space to your computer. It scans your disk searching for data changes and recovers only those files that are different from files in the image. This technology significantly reduces the amount of data you need to download in order to recover your disk.
Recovery to a new location
When you recover a disk to a different location or to an unallocated space, the process is very similar to a recovery from a local storage. The only difference is in the data writing method. Acronis True Image downloads and writes data by separate blocks, and not continuously. This technology increases recovery speed and reliability of the entire process.
What if recovery has been interrupted
Since disk recovery from Acronis Cloud uses an Internet connection and usually takes a long time, the probability of the recovery interruption is higher comparing to recovery from an ordinary hard disk.
Possible reasons of recovery interruption:
When recovery is not complete due to a connection problem, Acronis True Image 2021 automatically tries to reconnect to Acronis Cloud and resume the recovery process. It is recommended that you check your Internet connection settings in this case. If all the automatic attempts fail, run the recovery again manually when connection is restored.
In other cases please run recovery again manually and make sure the recovery is complete.
Regardless of an interruption reason, Acronis True Image 2021 does not start recovery from the very beginning. It resumes the process and downloads only the data that was not recovered.
