ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Server for Windows User Manual page 35

If the data size is less than 20GB, then one disk can hold, say, 10GB; the other will hold the
o
remaining 10GB. This way, a striped volume will be created on both disks and 20GB on the
second disk will remain unallocated.
If the data size is more than 20GB, the data cannot be distributed evenly between the two
o
disks, but can fit into a single simple volume. A simple volume accommodating all the data
will be created on the second disk. The first disk will remain untouched.
Recovered to:
Dynamic volume
Unallocated space (disk group)
Basic MBR volume
Basic GPT volume
Unallocated space (basic MBR disk)
Unallocated space (basic GPT disk)
Moving and resizing volumes during recovery
You can resize the resulting basic volume, both MBR and GPT, during recovery, or change the
volume's location on the disk. A resulting dynamic volume cannot be moved or resized.
Preparing disk groups and volumes
Before recovering dynamic volumes to bare metal you should create a disk group on the target
hardware.
You also might need to create or increase unallocated space on an existing disk group. This can be
done by deleting volumes or converting basic disks to dynamic.
You might want to change the target volume type (basic, simple/spanned, striped, mirrored, RAID
0+1, RAID 5). This can be done by deleting the target volume and creating a new volume on the
resulting unallocated space.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 includes a handy disk management utility which enables you to
perform the above operations both under the operating system and on bare metal. To find out more
about Acronis Disk Director Lite, see the Disk management (p. 191) section.
