7.5.1 Disks or partitions to image
.
7.4 Starting online imaging
Online imaging means that the master system is imaged live (without reboot or suspending
operations). Online imaging can be performed remotely whenever you need. The disadvantage is that
you have to install imaging software that is included in the master image. This is not always rational.
1. Install Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console and Acronis License Server. Import licenses to
the license server.
2. Configure the master system.
3. Install Acronis Snap Deploy Management Agent on the master system locally or remotely, using
Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console. Reboot on prompt. Once Acronis Snap Deploy
Management Agent is installed, you can image the master system online (without reboot) at any
time.
4. Start the Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console.
5. Connect to the master computer.
6. Select Create Master Image -> Next -> Create master image on a remote computer.
If you choose Create master image using bootable media, the program will suggest that you
create the bootable media for offline imaging.
7.5 Steps of the Master Image Creation Wizard
7.5.1 Disks or partitions to image
