Thus, you can back up data automatically on a schedule (see 

and not worry about zone overflow issues. However, if you keep long chains of incremental 

backups, it will be a good practice to periodically check the zone free space, indicated on the 

second page of the Manage Acronis Secure Zone wizard. 

How to create, resize or delete Acronis Secure Zone using this wizard, see in 

The Acronis Startup Recovery Manager enables starting Acronis True Image Server for Linux 

without loading the operating system. With this feature, if the system won't load for some 

reason, you can run Acronis True Image Server for Linux by itself to restore damaged 
partitions. As opposed to booting from Acronis removable media, you will not need a 

separate media to start Acronis True Image Server for Linux. 

To be able to use Acronis Startup Recovery Manager at boot time, prepare as follows: 

1. Install Acronis True Image Server for Linux. 

2. Create Acronis Secure Zone on the server hard disk and activate Acronis Startup Recovery 

Manager (see 

). 

 

When Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is activated, it overwrites the master boot record (MBR) with 
its own boot code. If you have any third-party boot managers installed, you will have to reactivate 
them after activating the Startup Recovery Manager. For Linux loaders (e.g. LiLo and GRUB), you 
might consider installing them to a Linux root (or boot) partition boot record instead of MBR before 
activating Acronis Startup Recovery Manager. 

If failure occurs, turn on the computer and press F11 when you see the "Press F11 for 

Acronis Startup Recovery Manager" message. This will run a standalone version of Acronis 

True Image Server for Linux that only slightly differs from the complete version. For 

information on restoring damaged partitions, see 

Chapter 6 Restoring the backup data under 

X Window System

After Acronis Startup Recovery Manager was initially activated, you can deactivate it or 

activate again at any time. See details in 

8.1.1 Activating and deactivating Acronis Startup 

Recovery Manager

In some situations (e.g. when restoring a system partition, or disk cloning or addition), you 

might have to work with Acronis True Image Server for Linux without loading the OS. In 
those cases, you can use the Acronis rescue CD. It is highly recommended that you create it 

as described in
