Saving the volume structure information

For the structure of MD devices and logical volumes to be automatically created at the time of
recovery, you need to save the volume structure information in either of these ways:

When creating a backup plan for the disk-level backup, go to Backup options > Advanced
settings, and then select the Save software RAID and LVM metadata along with backups check
box. (It is selected by default.)

Before performing the first disk backup on a source machine, run the following command:
trueimagecmd --dumpraidinfo
Either operation saves the machine's logical volume structure to the /etc/Acronis directory. Make
sure that the volume with this directory is selected for backup.
2.9.4

Selecting logical volumes and MD devices in command line

Let's assume that the system has four physical disks: Disk 1, Disk 2, Disk 3 and Disk 4.

A RAID-1 volume is configured on two basic volumes: sdb1, sdd1
 A logical volume is configured on two basic volumes: sdb2, sdd2
 Disk 1 includes Acronis Secure Zone, which normally is not backed up.
A list of a volumes can be obtained with the following command:
trueimagecmd --list
