Last update: 31-05-2021

Symptoms

  1. You installed WD Discovery software on your Mac
  2. You try to boot the Mac with Acronis bootable media or Survival Kit
  3. Booting fails with the error:

This volume does not have users that can be restored

Cause

Incompatibility with WD Discovery NAS.

WD Discovery creates a specific partition on the disk. This type of partition is not supported by Acronis True Image.

This issue will be fixed in the upcoming update of Acronis True Image 2021.

Solution

This issue is fixed in Acronis True Image 2021 Update 5 (Build 39229). Please update to the latest build.
