Restoring a disk (partition) from an image
(Having a policy for creating full and incremental images is recommended. For
example, you might consider creating a full image monthly and incremental images
weekly.)
If all image files are stored together, if doesn't matter which one you select, as the
program will recognize them as a single image. If you stored these files on several
removable discs, you must provide the latest image file, otherwise, restoration
problems might occur.

Selecting image file size
At this step you can specify if the program should create a single file or split it into
equal smaller images.
If you select Automatic, Acronis True Image Enterprise Server will try to decide
this for every particular case. If there's enough space on the selected disk, the
program will create a single image file.
If there's not enough space, Acronis True Image Enterprise Server will warn you
and wait for your decision. You can try to free some additional space and continue
or stop Acronis True Image Enterprise Server , free some space and re-execute the
procedure.
If you work with removable media, the size of a file of an image is set automatically only.
FAT16 and FAT32 file systems have a limit for maximum file sizes. In particular, FAT16 limit
is 2Gb, FAT32 limit – 4Gb. FAT32 is currently the most popular end user file system. At the
same time, existing hard drives have capacities of 160Gb and above! Therefore, an image file
might easily exceed this limit. In this case Acronis True Image Enterprise Server will
automatically split image into several files.
