6.3.6.1 Disks
Available disk destinations depend on the agents operating on the machine.
Recover to:
Physical machine
Available when the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows or Agent for Linux is
installed.
The selected disks will be recovered to the physical disks of the machine the console is
connected to. On selecting this, you proceed to the regular disk mapping procedure
described below.
New virtual machine (p. 150)
If Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows is installed.
The selected disks will be recovered to a new virtual machine of any of the following types:
VMware Workstation, Microsoft Virtual PC, Parallels Workstation or Citrix XenServer Open
Virtual Appliance (OVA). The virtual machine files will be saved to the destination you
specify.
If Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Hyper-V or Agent for ESX/ESXi is installed.
These agents enable creating a new virtual machine on the virtualization server you specify.
The new virtual machine will be configured automatically, the source machine configuration
being copied where possible. The configuration is displayed in the Virtual Machine Settings
(p. 150) section. Check the settings and make changes if necessary.
Then you proceed to the regular disk mapping procedure described below.
Existing virtual machine
Available when the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Hyper-V or Agent for ESX/ESXi is
installed.
On selecting this, you specify the virtualization server and the target virtual machine. Then
you proceed to the regular disk mapping procedure described below.
Please be aware that the target machine will be powered off automatically before the recovery. If you
prefer to power it off manually, modify the VM power management option.
Disk #:
Disk # (MODEL) (p. 148)
Select the destination disk for each of the source disks.
NT signature (p. 147)
Select the way the recovered disk's signature will be handled. The disk signature is used by
Windows and the Linux kernel version 2.6 and later.
Disk destination
To specify a destination disk:
1. Select a disk where you want the selected disk to recover to. The destination disk's space should
be at least the same size as the uncompressed image data.
2. Click OK.
All the data stored on the target disk will be replaced by the backed up data, so be careful and watch out for
non-backed-up data that you might need.
