What is a disk image?
A disk (partition) image is a file that contains a copy of all information stored on a disk. The
image stores all the server data, including operating system, databases, applications, data
and settings.
By backing up your information regularly, you will completely protect yourself from data
losses in case of server failure or malfunction. To reсover your system after a failure, simply
restore your disk data from a previously created image.
By default, Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux image files have ".tib" extension and can
contain images of several partitions or disks.
Images of large partitions or several disks could be sizeable. In that case, an image can be
split into several files that together make the original image. A single image can also be
split for burning to removable media.
Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux can create incremental images.
