Recovery with restart

A restart is required when you recover the following: 

  • An operating system

  • BitLocker or CheckPoint-encrypted volumes

    Backed-up encrypted volumes are recovered as non-encrypted.

Requirements

  • Recovery of encrypted volumes requires that there is a non-encrypted volume on the same machine, and that this volume has at least 1 GB of free space. Otherwise, the recovery will fail.
  • Recovery of an encrypted system volume does not require any additional actions. To recover an encrypted non-system volume, you must lock it first, for example, by opening a file that resides on this volume. Otherwise, the recovery will continue without restart and the recovered volume might not be recognized by Windows.

Troubleshooting

If the recovery fails and your machine restarts with the Cannot get file from partition error, disable Secure Boot. For more information on how to do it, refer to Disabling Secure Boot in the Microsoft documentation.
