Specifying image location 
In the drive tree, select a place to locate an image and enter its name in the File name 
field. 
 
You can store images of several partitions or disks in a single file, but you won’t be able to  append 
images to an existing file. 
 
The program can automatically generate file names. To do this, click the Generate file name for a new 
file
 button located to the right of the file name field. 
You can create a disk (partition) image on the same disk (partition), if there is enough space 
for it, but do not leave it there. Having created an image, burn it onto a CD, DVD or ZIP 
media, or copy to another local or network hard disk. 
Though Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux can store images on both local and network 
drives, the latter way is preferable, as it provides higher image safety and therefore 
restoration possibility after a software or hardware failure.
