when you are saying your SSR is not booting?that means there is an issue with the SSR itself, as you need to be able to boot from SSR and do the recovery (if you have access to backup files).
can you mention what is the error you are facing?
also mention where you are trying to restore your backup to.(same client) or a different location.
Thanks for your reply. What I mean is that SSR 2011 is goes into the "loading Windows files" mode, and never gets done. Also, I have two original SSR 2011 recovery disks, and four bit-for-bit backup disks made with diskcopy. All have been tested in the past and all worked fine. My backup files have been fine as I have reinstalled this system several times in the past when I did something or other that didn't work and was very hard to reverse. This is an install on at the same machine. I have replaced my 250 GB solid state drives with 2 TB SSDs , but I get the same error when I put the 250's back in. I do have access to the backup files as I regularly backup to separate harddrives, and not to drive C, in fact I have access to about 6 backups from different times going back to 2012 - I'd take any of them, now.
