2. Create the Acronis Secure Zone on the server hard disk (see 
). 
3. Activate Acronis Startup Recovery manager (see 
) and create bootable media or RIS package with Acronis True Image Echo 
Server (see 
4. Back up (image) the server’s system disk to Acronis Secure Zone (see 
). You can back up other disks/partitions as well, but 
the system image is mandatory. 
 
When performing Active Restore, the current Acronis True Image Echo Server version 
always restores the entire system disk. Therefore, if your system disk consists of several 
partitions, all of them must be included in the image. Any partitions which are missing 
from the image will be lost. 
If failure occurs, boot the server from the bootable media, or RIS server, or using F11. 
Start the recovery procedure (see 
), 
select the system disk image from Acronis Secure Zone, choose Use Active Restore and 
in the next window click Proceed. In a few seconds the computer will reboot to the 
restored system. Log in and start work – no additional reboots or other actions are 
required. 
You can perform Active Restore running Acronis True Image Echo Server in Windows 
operating systems as well. However, it is mandatory to have bootable media in case 
Windows cannot boot. 
3.6  Acronis Universal Restore 
3.6.1  Acronis Universal Restore purpose 
A system disk image can be deployed easily on the hardware where it was created or to 
identical hardware. However, if you change a motherboard or use another processor 
version — a likely possibility in case of hardware failure — the restored system could be 
unbootable. An attempt to transfer the system to a new, much more powerful computer 
will usually produce the same unbootable result because the new hardware is 
incompatible with the most critical drivers included in the image. 
Using Microsoft System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) does not solve this problem, because 
Sysprep permits replacing drivers only for Plug-and-Play devices (sound cards, network 
adapters, video cards etc.). As for system Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and mass 
storage device drivers, they must be identical on the source and the target computers 
(see Microsoft Knowledge Base, articles 302577 and 216915). 
Acronis Universal Restore technology provides an efficient solution for hardware-
independent system restoration by replacing the crucial Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) 
and mass storage device drivers.  
Acronis Universal Restore is applicable for: 
1. Instant recovery of a failed system on different hardware 
2. Hardware-independent cloning and deployment of operating systems 
3. Real-to-virtual and virtual-to-real computer migration for system recovery, test and 
other purposes.
