2.3.2 Supported media

Acronis Master Image Creator can save an image:
- on a network share
- on the master computer internal hard drive
- on USB and FireWire (IEEE-1394) storage devices (hard drives, flash drives) attached to the
master computer
- on DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW loaded in the master computer media drive.
A sizeable image can be split between multiple media automatically.
Acronis OS Deploy Server can deploy images located:
- in network shared folders
- on the deploy server internal hard drive
- on USB and FireWire (IEEE-1394) storage devices (hard drives, flash drives) attached to the
deploy server
- on DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW loaded in the deploy server media drive.
The best practice is keeping images on the deploy server hard drive. This minimizes network traffic
during deployment.
The image created on removable media has to fit into one media disk. To deploy an image spread
over several CDs, DVDs or other media, copy all parts of the image to the same folder on the deploy
server or on a network share.
