1.3. What is a disk image
A disk (partition) image is a file that contains a copy of all information stored on a
disk. Image stores all the server data including operating system, databases, all
programs, data, and settings.
By backing up your information regularly you will completely protect yourself from
data losses in case of system failures and even PC malfunctions.
To restore your system after a failure it would be enough to restore information
from a previously created image.
By default Acronis True Image Server image files have ".tib" extension and can
contain images of several partitions or disks.
Images of large partition or several disks might have considerable size. In this
case it can be split into several files that together make an original image. A single
image can also be split for burning to removable media.
Acronis True Image Server can create incremental images than contain only those
disk parts that changed after image creation.
Acronis True Image Server stores only those hard disk parts that contain data (for supported
partition types). This reduces image size and speeds up image creation and restoration from.
A partition image includes all files and folders independently of their attributes (including hidden
and system files), boot record, FAT, and Root.
A disk image includes images of all disk partitions as well as the zero track with Master Boot
Record (MBR).
