Security; Executing Transfers; Selecting Clone Mode - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE SERVER 8.0 User Manual

Transferring the system to a new disk
• Create new partitions on the old disk (and remove all the older information.)
On program screens, damaged partitions are marked with a red circle and a white cross
inside in the upper left corner. Before you start cloning, you should check such disks for
errors using corresponding operating system tools.
7.2

Security

Please note the following: if the power goes out or you accidentally press RESET
during the transfer, the procedure will be incomplete and you will have to partition
and format or clone the hard disk again.
No data will be lost because the original disk is only being read (no partitions are
changed or resized) until data transfer is completed.
Nevertheless, we don't recommend you to delete data from the old disk until you
are sure it is correctly transferred to the new disk, server boots up from it, and all
applications work.

Selecting clone mode

You will see the Clone mode window just after the welcome window.
Clone mode selection
We recommend using automatic mode in most cases. The manual mode can be
helpful, if you need to change the disk partition layout.
If the program finds two disks, one partitioned and another unpartitioned, it will
automatically recognize the source (partitioned) and destination (unpartitioned) disks,
so the next two steps will be bypassed.
