Acronis® Universal Restore allows you to restore
to different hardware or to a virtual machine, providing
complete disaster recovery. Disaster recovery planning

How does the Acronis Universal Restore feature
work?
The feature continues the Acroni® True Image benefit
of being easy to use. In order to use this option effectively,
you must first prepare your Acronis® True Image
environment.
Preparation
- Install the Acronis® Universal Restore option.
Please note that Acronis® True Image Echo must
be licensed and installed for Acronis® True Image
Universal Restore to function.
- Create bootable media with the Universal Restore
option selected.
Now you are ready to replace any system!
Restoration with Acronis® Universal Restore
You can restore an image to a new system in 5 easy
steps.
- Boot your replacement system with the bootable
media you created and select Recovery in the Acronis®
True Image menu
- Step 2:Select the image to restore and the Acronis®
Universal Restore option
- Step 3:Acronis® Universal Restore initiates
the restore process
- Step 4:Acronis® Universal Restore detects the
hardware and installs drivers
The product detects the machine type and installs
appropriate drivers for Hardware Abstraction Layer
(HAL)
The product detects hard disk controllers (SCSI and
IDE)
or
The product prompts you for driver locations
- Step 5:The machine reboots
Once this process has completed, you have a working
system to a replacement machine. No reinstallation of
the operating system and applications is required. No
re-configuration to join the network is required, as
the product retains Security Identifier (SID) and network
information of the system during recovery.
With Acronis Universal Restore, complete system recovery
can be accomplished from an image, with no reinstallation
of the operating system, applications or any reconfigurations
or individual files and folders restored. Because Acronis
True Image Echo Enterprise Server creates a transportable
image that disassociates the data from the underlying
hardware, recovery can be performed to an existing system,
to a new system with different hardware, or to a virtual
server. |
