Boot the target computer into Acronis recovery environment from the bootable media, or RIS server, or using F11. You can perform the following procedure either locally or remotely, using Acronis True Image Management Console. Acronis Universal Restore can only be installed on a computer where at least one of the following Acronis components is installed: It should be purchased separately and installed from a separate. If you got accustomed to using Sysprep, you can use both tools on the same system.Īcronis Universal Restore is an optional program feature. Acronis Universal Restore does not conflict with Microsoft System Preparation Tool (sysprep). As for system HAL and boot device driver, they must be identical in the source and target computers (see Microsoft Knowledge Base, articles 302515).Īcronis Universal Restore technology provides an efficient solution for hardware-independent system restoration by replacing the crucial HAL and hard disk controller drivers.
#ACRONIS HOME SUPPORT FOR RAID 0 DRIVERS#
Using Microsoft System Preparation Tool (sysprep) does not solve this problem, because Sysprep can replace drivers only for Plug-and-Play devices (sound cards, network adapters, video cards etc.). The restored system may turn unbootable because startup drivers and components, used by the source system, cannot operate on a different motherboard, processor etc. The most obvious way of cloning a Windows system is to deploy its image to a different computer.However, the deployment will not be a success if the target hardware is incompatible with the most critical drivers included into the image. "Acronis Universal Restore can make a bootable system migration from RAID to HDD, RAID to RAID, HDD to RAID and HDD to HDD, provided that when using a HDD to RAID or RAID to RAID, the destination drivers of the Raid are included in the restoration image."
#ACRONIS HOME SUPPORT FOR RAID 0 DRIVER#
Not a single driver was added on the destination machine, the default HAL driver found the default onboard SATA HDD and booted sweetly and swiftly.Īll the items above the sentence could be left out and the sentence should read:

The HAL-less-clone image booted perfectly on the destination platform on a single HDD, eventhough the source image was made on a machine with three striping RAID discs. "As appears from the above, a bootable system migration from RAID to HDD and vise versa is impossible."įrom my experience when I restored the clone from Hardware A residing on three RAID Discs in striping mode, via Universal Restore to another different Hardware B with only a single HDD.

Santiago Guzman / Technical Crew of Acronis,įrom my own experiment, I can confirm that the following conclusion sentence in the manual of Acronis Universal restore is not true:
