    3.1.2 Manual partition operations In this mode, experienced users have access to all Acronis Disk Director Server features. Partition operations are performed by entering necessary parameters into dialog boxes. The main difference between the automatic and manual modes is that wizards perform operations series in the automatic mode and only single disk/partition operations in the manual mode.

  • Page 12: Acronis Disk Director Server Main Window

    The main window appearance differs depending on the selected operation mode (see 3.1 «Acronis Disk Director Server Logical Organization»). The difference applies to the available operation list in the main menu, partition context menus, sidebar and toolbar, and the amount of partition structure details represented.
