What is Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux?
Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux is a unique product for complete data backup that
enables you to create exact images of server hard disks or their partitions under Linux.
Thanks to the proprietary Acronis Drive Snapshot technology the program creates server
disk images
safety and avoid server downtimes.
An image, including all disk data, applications and operating systems, can be restored to a
hard disk if the old disk or any other hardware or software fails and other recovery means
don't work.
In addition, you can easily extract files, deleted by mistake, from the disk image and copy
them to the disk.
1.2
Fastest recovery
Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux dramatically reduces your server downtime. Unlike
traditional file-by-file backup solutions, the Acronis disk imaging approach provides you with
the fastest, bare-metal server recovery (recovery starting with an unformatted disk drive)
without time-consuming reinstallations, configurations and the like.
1.3
Rapid ROI
Is server downtime costing you thousands of dollars an hour? Acronis True Image Server 8.0
for Linux dramatically reduces IT costs by providing an easy, fast and reliable way to return
your server to its original working state in minutes or to restore lost or damaged files and
folders.
1.4
Disk drive cloning and new disk drive deployment
Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux can be used to clone an image onto multiple
servers. For example, a company purchases several servers and needs a similar environment
on each of them. Traditionally, the IT manager would install an operating system and
programs on each of them. Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux simplifies the process
and saves the IT manager time by creating a disk image of the first system deployed. That
image can then be duplicated onto multiple servers.
If you need to upgrade the server hard disk drive, Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux
simplifies the task to a few mouse clicks, creating an exact copy of your old disk to a new
one and adjusting partition size to fit a new hard disk.
