ACRONIS SNAP DEPLOY 3 - FOR WORKSTATION Manual page 54

The further steps will depend on how many partitions you select.
If you deploy one partition, it is assumed that the target disk has partitions and you will have to select
the target partition, to deploy over it. Other partitions will remain untouched. The active partition of
the target disk will remain active - even if you deploy an active partition side by side with it, the newly
deployed partition will not become active. Therefore, deploy an active partition to an active partition if
you want to boot from the deployed partition.
Deploying more than one partition will clear partitioning of the target disk. Only the newly deployed
partitions will exist on the disk after deployment.
The Master Boot Record (MBR) is always deployed from the image regardless of your choice.
If your operating system and its loader reside on different partitions, always include both
partitions in the image. The partitions must also be deployed together; otherwise there is a
high risk that the operating system will not start.
