Acronis restore confusion.

My friend is having trouble understanding the restore instructions. Me too.

We're not sure what file or files need to be designated on the image side if
you want to restore a full hard disk where you have an initial full image
followed by several incremental images. Do you just show the initial full
image and the program automatically picks up the incrementals? Or do you
just show the last incremental? Or do you have to list the them all?

Any clarification will be appreciated.

Yes, just point the program to the initial full image and it will
automatically add the incrementals.

Did u create the original image with Acronis or with another software ?
Acronis restores only own images. Another thing, if you've done any
changes to the size (decreasing) of the original partition, it will not
work.

Bullshit.
