3.7.4 Using Acronis Universal Restore in virtual environment
Virtual machine technologies provide a powerful tool to help accelerate the development,
testing, deployment and support of PC applications. Using Acronis True Image Enterprise
Server with Acronis Universal Restore you can perform real-to-virtual and virtual-to-real
computer migration in the same way as with real systems.
If the virtual hard drive uses SCSI controller, you should provide appropriate drivers while
performing system restore to the virtual machine. For example, the widespread VMware
environment requires Buslogic or LSI logic drivers. Use drivers bundled with your virtual
machine software or download the latest drivers versions from the software manufacturer
website.
3.7.5 Limitations in using Acronis Universal Restore
1. The system recovered by Acronis Universal Restore may not start if the partition structure
in the image or the target disk partitioning does not coincide with that of the source disk. As
a result, the loader, restored from the image, will point to the wrong partition and the
system will not boot or will malfunction.
Such might be the case if you:
- image not the entire source disk, but only the selected partitions
Keep in mind, that the source disk may have a hidden maintenance partition created by the
computer vendor. Therefore, if you check each partition for backup instead of checking the
disk, this hidden partition will not be included into the image.
- restore not the entire source disk, but only the selected partitions. In some cases,
especially if your system resides on other than the first partition, this can confuse the loader
and prevent the restored system from startup.
To avoid the problem, we recommend that you image and restore the entire system disk.
2. The Acronis Universal Restore option does not work if the image contains dynamic disks
and volumes.
3. The Acronis Universal Restore option does not work if a computer is booted with Acronis
Startup Recovery Manager (using F11) or the backup image is located in Acronis Secure
Zone. This is because Acronis Startup Recovery Manager and Acronis Secure Zone are
primarily meant for instant data recovery on the same computer.
3.7.6 Getting Acronis Universal Restore
Acronis Universal Restore is an add-on to Acronis True Image Enterprise Server. It is
purchased separately and installed from a separate setup file.
3.8 Using dynamic disks and volumes
Acronis True Image Enterprise Server supports dynamic disks, i.e. disks, managed by
Windows Logical Disk Manager (LDM). You can create an image of one or more dynamic
volumes of any type (simple, spanned, striped etc.) and restore it to a dynamic volume of
any type or MBR volume (partition) and vice versa, restore an MBR volume image to a
dynamic volume. In each case, the program stores and restores volume contents only. The
type or other properties of the target volume will not be changed.
However, the partition resize is possible when you restore a dynamic volume to a basic disk
partition.
