If you want more functionality during restoration, write a standalone version of Acronis
True Image Enterprise Server to the rescue disk. Then you will be able to configure the
restore task using Restore Data Wizard, use Acronis Snap Restore or Acronis Universal
Restore etc.
Under Advanced tab you can select full, safe or both Acronis True Image Enterprise Server
loader version. The safe version does not have USB, PC card or SCSI drivers and is useful
only in case the full version does not load. If you want the computer, booted from the
media, to be accessible for remote control with Acronis True Image Management Console,
add Acronis Bootable Agent to the media. If you have other Acronis products, such as
Acronis Disk Director Suite, installed on your computer, the bootable versions of these
programs’ components will be offered as Advanced as well.
In case you check Do not place additional components if there is no free space box,
the program will try to write at least basic component to media, short of space.
6.3.11 Additional settings
1. Validate backup archive upon operation completion
The default setting – disabled.
You can choose to check the backup data integrity. Verification will be performed
immediately after the archive is created.
To check data from an incremental backup, you must have all previous incremental backup
files and the initial full backup. If any of successive backups is missing, validation is
impossible.
To check data from a differential backup, you must have the initial full backup as well.
However, if you created several differential or both incremental and differential backups
based on the same full backup (and therefore, in the same folder), you will need ALL of
these successive backups to validate the archive.
2. Overwrite data on a tape without user confirmation
The default setting – disabled.
A full backup, when created on a tape drive, overwrites all data stored on the tape (see
3.9
Backing up to tape drive
for more information). In this situation, Acronis True Image
Enterprise Server will warn that you are about to lose data on the tape. To disable this
warning, check the middle box.
3. Ask for first media while creating backup archives on removable media
The default setting – enabled.
You can choose whether to display the Insert First Media prompt when backing up to
removable media. With the default setting, backing up to removable media may be
impossible if the user is away, because the program will wait for pressing OK in the prompt
box. Therefore, you should disable the prompt when scheduling a backup to removable
media. Then, if the removable media is available (for example, CD-R/RW inserted) the task
can run unattended.
