the motherboard is replaced, but in practice, you may not need to use AUR in such scenarios providing you are running Windows 10 as your OS. Ryan, in principle, AUR is designed for the scenario where your hardware changes, i.e. Is Universal Restore only necessary when upgrading/replacing the motherboard?Īlso is a Universal Restore UBS key something that can be created on any computer and then used with any computer at any time in the future if a hardware upgrade on any given computer made that computer un-bootable? Hey Steve what would I use if I had to replace my motherboard because the system wasn't booting and troubleshooting determined that the motherboard was faulty? I could, of course, create two bootable USB thumb drives one with each option. By tested, I mean that I can see the backups are running and ATI reports success. The backup has been created and tested using two rotating external 4TB USB drives. He is very bright but when it comes to computers God shortchanged him in this part of his brain, thus we need everything to be simple as possible.įor now, I don't see him changing hardware for a few years but sometimes life throws us a curve and we are forced to go down a new unexpected path, thus I'm leaning toward worst-case situations for recovery. For most of the effort, I can do this remotely but will need to rely on him for some of the setup or wait until we visit. I have multiple licenses for ATI 2018 and I'm attempting to setup my son's laptop with ATI, he is located about 5-6 hours from me. Can AUR recover to the same hardware? I would suspect yes and if so why do I need the Rescue Media Builder option? If I need to recover to different hardware then the AUR would be required.It seems that the rescue media builder is a great option for recovering to the same PC.Thus the question, what the heck should I do if I want to take the bridge to the best of the worlds. I was just getting ready to create an ATI USB recovery bootable option and started reading various articles in the Acronis KB area, namely those regarding AUR.
