Creating bootable media

In some cases, Acronis True Image Enterprise Server can be run only from a special
bootable diskette or CD. Such a case might be if your server does not boot up
normally.
You can create bootable media during or after the installation.
For this, you will need a CD-R/RW blank, several formatted diskettes (the bootable
media wizard will tell you the exact number), or any other media your server can
boot from, such as a Zip drive. Click Create Bootable Media on the toolbar or the
sidebar, or select Create Bootable Media from the Tools menu.
You can also create bootable media without loading Acronis True Image
Enterprise Server itself by selecting Programs
Bootable Rescue Media Builder from the Start menu.
You will see the bootable media wizard that will ask you to select either complete,
or safe loader version. The latter doesn't have USB, PC card (PCMCIA), SCSI drivers
and is useful only in case the complete version doesn't work.
After you create a boot disk, identify it and keep it in a safe place.

Viewing logs

Acronis True Image Enterprise Server allows users to view its working logs. They
can provide information about scheduled image creation results, including failure
reasons if any. Logs are created only for partition (disk) image creation operations.
To invoke the log window, select Show log on the toolbar or from the Tools menu.
The log browsing window contains two panels: the left one features the log list,
while the right one – selected log contents.
The left panel can contain up to 50 logs. If there's more, you can browse the list
using the More and Less buttons with the left and right arrows.
