• Acronis True Image Home 2011

Symptoms

1. You have a partition that has less than 5% of free space;
2. You back up the partition;
3. On an attempt to restore the partition, you see the following message:

   There is not enough free space

Cause

This is a known issue.

Solution

There are two possible workarounds:

If you have a working source system where the image was created originally:

1. Free the space to 6% or more on the source partition;
2. Create a differential or incremental backup of the source partition;
3. Restore this incremental or differential backup.

If the source system is not available:

1. Mount the backup in read-write mode on any other live machine with Acronis True Image Home 2011 installed there (please refer to Acronis True Image Home 2011: Mounting Partition Backups to get step-by-step instructions on how images can be mounted);
2. Free up the space in the mounted backup by deleting some files to 6% or more;
3. Unmount the backup;
4. Restore the backup to the machine;
