
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 creates scheduled tasks using the signature of the source hard
disk. If you recover the same disk signature, you don't need to re-create or edit the tasks
created previously.

Some installed applications use disk signature for licensing and other purposes
 Keep existing
The program will leave the existing NT signature of the target hard disk as is.
6.3.6.2 Volumes
Available volume destinations depend on the agents operating on the machine.
Recover to:
Physical machine
The selected volumes will be recovered to the physical disks of the machine the console is
connected to. On selecting this, you proceed to the regular volume mapping procedure described
below.

used by Windows and the Linux kernel version 2.6 and later.
Recover [Volume] to:
Disk # /Volume (p. 130)
Sequentially map each of the source volumes to a volume or an unallocated space on the
destination disk.
Size (p. 131):
[Optional] Change the recovered volume size, location and other properties.

MBR destination

To specify a destination disk:
1. Select the disk to recover the MBR to.
2. Click OK.

Volume destination

To specify a destination volume:
1. Select a volume or unallocated space where you want the selected volume to be recovered to.
The destination volume/unallocated space should be at least the same size as the uncompressed
image data.

All the data stored on the target volume will be replaced by the backed up data, so be careful and watch out for
non-backed-up data that you might need.
