Restoring a Processor Unit image from a USB flash drive using the Acronis True Image program
Once a backup image exist, you can restore the content of the Processor Unit hard disk in case of a failure. The software used is Acronis True Image. The software is installed on the Processor Unit. It is also copied onto the USB flash drive that is provided with the CS90.
Prerequisites
To restore, you will need the USB flash drive containing a backup image. We recommend that you use the image you made after the CS90 installation was completed.
Context
You can restore the image from generic backup image, or from an image created for your installation.
Note
If you restore your Processor Unit from a generic image, you must change the Windows license and then activate it before you can use the CS90. You must also reinstall the CS90 software. We recommend that you use the image you made after the CS90 installation was completed.
The software in use is created by Acronis. For more information about this company and their products, see their website:
