Chapter 1. Introduction

®
True Image Echo Enterprise Server – a complete solution
for corporate users
Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server is a comprehensive backup and recovery
solution for heterogeneous computer infrastructure that may include any combination of
physical and virtual, networked and standalone, Windows- and Linux-based servers.
Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server creates a transportable image, independent of
the hardware platform that can be restored directly to and from any virtual or physical
environment.
Minimizes downtime
Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server enables you to restore systems in minutes,
not hours or days. An entire system can be restored from an image that includes
everything the system needs to run: the operating system, applications, databases, and
configurations. it is not necessary to reinstall software or reconfigure your system or
network settings. The complete system restoration can be performed to an existing
system, to a new system with different hardware, or to virtual machines. With the Acronis
Snap Restore feature, users can access the server and begin working during the restore
process, further decreasing downtime. File-level backups provide you with the flexibility to
only backup specific, critical files.
Eases Administration
Wizards guide users through backup and recovery tasks, ensuring the product can be
implemented with minimal user training. A central management console provides remote
administration, ensuring that all systems in the network, regardless of the domain or
workgroup structure, can be managed from one location. Complete, unattended restores
from remote locations are supported with a remote bootable agent.
Automates Backup
With the scheduling capability in Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server, you simply
create backup tasks, tailored by group, or certain times or events.
To ensure that backups have occurred, or if user intervention is required, you can request
notifications via email or Windows Pop-up. You can view Acronis events in the Windows
Application Events Log or Acronis own log files. Log messages can be automatically sent
out to SNMP clients.
The product also supports the creation of custom commands before and after backups.
For example, users can automatically run anti-virus products before an image is created
and verify the validity of backups after the image has been created. And because these
tasks can be scheduled, you need not recreate the script to run the pre- and post-event
tasks each time; you can set the scheduled events once and they will run each time
automatically.
Ensures 24 X 7 Uptime
With Acronis’ patented drive snapshot technology, systems can be imaged while they are
in use, ensuring 24-by-7 system availability. This technology enables the product to
backup and image critical operating system files, the master boot record and any
partition-based boot records without requiring a reboot. A CPU allocation feature allows
you to limit the amount of CPU usage for the application to maximize the CPU’s
