How to restore a Windows System Image to another computer

If you have backed up your Windows System with CloudBacko's Windows System backup set, performing a Windows System or bare metal restore on a new computer using CloudBacko is done in two stages.


2 Stages

  1. Restoring the Windows System image from cloud storage using CloudBacko.
  2. Recovering the Windows System image to the new machine using Windows recovery disk.

Assumptions

  1. The original Windows machine has crashed or suffered critical hardware failure.
  2. Although both CloudBacko Pro and CloudBacko Lite support Windows System Backup, the example will use CloudBacko Pro.

Stage 1

  1. Install CloudBacko Pro on another working Windows machine (in order to restore the backed up Windows System image from the Cloud).
  2. Import your original CloudBacko settings using [Utilities] > [Ex/Import Settings] > [Import CloudBacko Pro Settings].
  3. Use [Restore] to restore the backed up Windows System Image from your Cloud storage to a USB drive.
  4. Select the Window Image files to restore.
  5. Select to destination disk where CloudBacko restores the Windows Image files to (D: is a USB drive).

  6. The Windows System Image has now been restored from Cloud storage to USB drive.

Stage 2

Although the following example is for a Windows System Image restore of Windows 2008 R2 is used, the same instructions can also used for Windows System Image of Windows Vista 7, 8, 8.1, 2008, 2012, and 2012 R2.

  1. Connect the USB drive with the restored Windows Image file to the new computer.
  2. Insert your Windows bootable DVD into the new computer.
  3. Reboot the machine.
  4. After booting up specify the language settings, and then click [Next].
