To restore the image created, you need to follow these few simple steps:-

To restore the disk image of your system click the "Restore" icon and then click the "Restore Disk"
On the next screen, you have the list of backups that are on your hard drive, select the one corresponding to your choice, then click "Next".
However if you want to restore only files or folders in your backup then choose the second option. Then click "Next".
Select the partition where the image must be restored, and click "Next".
Again click "Next"
Now Acronis True Image will prepare for the process. Attention to this a restart is required. It is of course not possible to restore a system partition while it is in use, this explains the need for rebooting. Then click on "Run".

Thats it..
