Something about IBM/Lenovo/Thinkpads not booting on an Acronis image.I wouldn't be inclined to rely on System Restore alone. There are things that can make it not work, like some malware. Better to have ERUNT backups happening concurrently, so that you have an alternate option. And nothing would beat a fairly recent boot partition image, from where everything was working properly.
