5.2 Acronis Universal Restore
Acronis Universal Restore is the Acronis proprietary technology that helps recover and boot up an
operating system on dissimilar hardware or a virtual machine. Universal Restore handles differences
in devices that are critical for the operating system start-up, such as storage controllers,
motherboard or chipset.
Universal Restore is extremely useful in the following scenarios:
1. Instant recovery of a failed system on different hardware.
2. Hardware-independent cloning and deployment of operating systems.
3. Physical-to-physical, physical-to-virtual and virtual-to-physical machine migration.
5.2.1 Getting Universal Restore
Universal Restore is always available when recovering a system from the online storage.
Universal Restore is purchased separately. It has its own license.
To enable Universal Restore on a managed machine, do any of the following:
 Install Universal Restore from the product installation package (in addition to Agent for Windows
or Bootable Media Builder).
 If the agent is already installed, you can connect the management console to the machine, click
Help > Change license and specify the license key or the license server from where to take the
Universal Restore license.
You need to re-create bootable media to make the newly installed add-on operational in the
bootable environment.
