Virtual Machine Settings - ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 ADVANCED SERVER - UPDATE 3 User Manual

set as active. If you recover a system volume to another hard disk with its own volumes and
operating system, you will most likely need only the data. In this case, you can recover the
volume as logical to access the data only.
File system
Change the volume file system, if required. By default, the program selects the original volume's file
system. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 can make the following file system conversions: FAT 16 -> FAT
32 and Ext2 -> Ext3. For volumes with other native file systems, this option is not available.
Assume you are going to recover a volume from an old, low-capacity FAT16 disk to a newer disk.
FAT16 would not be effective and might even be impossible to set on the high-capacity hard disk.
That's because FAT16 supports volumes up to 4GB, so you will not be able to recover a 4GB FAT16
volume to a volume that exceeds that limit, without changing the file system. It would make sense
here to change the file system from FAT16 to FAT32.
Older operating systems (MS-DOS, Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.x, 4.x) do not support FAT32 and
will not be operable after you recover a volume and change its file system. These can be normally
recovered on a FAT16 volume only.
Logical drive letter (for Windows only)
Assign a letter to the recovered volume. Select the desired letter from a drop-down list.

With the default AUTO selection, the first unused letter will be assigned to the volume.

If you select NO, no letter will be assigned to the recovered volume, hiding it from the OS.You
should not assign letters to volumes that are inaccessible to Windows, such as to those other
than FAT and NTFS.
