1. Close all applications that use the basic disk(s) that will be converted. 
2. If there are partitions on the basic disk(s), define whether you want to keep them.  
If yes, the partitions will be converted to simple dynamic volumes. Therefore, only the 
existing unallocated space will be available as a target for dynamic volume recovery.  
If you want to recover over the entire disk, delete partitioning using the Add New Disk 
operation (see 
) or third-party tools.  
3. Do one of the following: 
Connect the console to the computer where Acronis True Image Agent is installed or its 
bootable version is booted. Select Backup and Recovery tasks and click Convert to 
Dynamic Disk

On a computer where Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server local version is installed 
or booted, select Tools -> Convert to Dynamic Disk in the main program menu. 
4. Select the basic disk or a newly connected disk that is not yet initialized. 
5. Click Proceed in the summary window. 
The backward dynamic-to-basic conversion can be performed using the Add New Disk 
operation. This will destroy information as well as the GUID partitions table if there was 
one on the disk. The result will be an MBR basic disk. See details in 
7.5.2  Creating dynamic volumes 
This operation is available only in Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server local 
version, including bootable version  of  this  component.  Having  booted  to  the  Acronis 
environment, you can easily prepare the desired dynamic group on bare metal or a 
computer with a non-Windows operating system. 
The operation supports both dynamic disks and MBR or GPT basic disks. Basic disks will 
be converted to dynamic.  
 
All data contained on the basic disk and the basic disk partitioning will be lost. On 
dynamic disks, only unallocated space will be used for the new volume. 
 
An MBR basic disk must have at least 1MB of free space at the end of the disk for the 
dynamic disk database. 
To create a dynamic volume: 
1. Close all applications that use the disk(s) on which the volume is to be created. 
2. Start the Dynamic Volume Creation Wizard by selecting Tools -> Create Dynamic 
Volume
 in the main program menu. 
3. Select basic, dynamic or newly connected disks on which the dynamic volume will be 
created. Dynamic disks are selected by default. You can deselect any, if need be, later in 
the wizard.  
If you tick off disks other than dynamic, these will be converted to dynamic disks and 
included in the dynamic group. However, this will be done when the operation starts. 
While you are using the wizard, no changes are made to disks.
