Selecting Restored Partition Size - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE SERVER 8.0 User Manual

choose between Ext2 and Ext3. For partitions with other native file systems this
option is not available.
Select a file system
Let's imagine you are to restore a partition from an old, low-capacity FAT16 disk to
a newer disk. FAT16 wouldn't be effective and might even be impossible to set on
the high-capacity hard disk. That's because FAT16 supports partitions up to 4 GB,
so you won't be able to restore a 4 GB FAT16 partition to a partition that exceeds
that threshold without changing the file system.
It would make sense here to change the file system from FAT16 to FAT32 by setting
the appropriate switch.
But you must also have in mind that not all operating systems support FAT32.
Windows 4.x doesn't support FAT32 and won't be operable after you restore a
partition and change its file system. These can be normally restored on a FAT16
partition only.
However, you can easily convert a FAT16 partition with newer OS into FAT32.

Selecting restored partition size

In some cases you might need to change partition configuration and size during the
restoration. Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows is flexible enough to do
this.
You can resize and relocate partition by dragging it or its borders with mouse or by
entering corresponding values into the appropriate fields.
