• Additionally, with the Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 10 Universal Restore™ option, administrators can quickly automate the recovery process, even when recovering to dissimilar hardware or virtual machines.

• If you already use Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 software for local backup and recovery of your physical and virtual machines, adding Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 10 Online is a snap because the two products are completely integrated. One console seamlessly manages all of your backup and recovery efforts regardless of the data's actual location.

Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 10 Universal Restore™

This component is not included in the product by default and is licensed separately.

What happens when a system’s hardware fails or needs to be retired? How do you move the valuable applications and data to a new system or hardware after disaster strikes? How do you quickly restore a system after the hardware has changed?

Acronis solves this common issue with Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 10 Universal Restore™, a fully integrated module that restores servers or workstations to different hardware or to a virtual machine, providing highly flexible disaster recovery and migration options.

The Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Universal Restore module prepares you for even the most unforeseen events without requiring administrators to purchase and maintain identical spare machines.

The process begins when Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is used to create a transportable image that disassociates the data from the old machine’s underlying hardware. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Universal Restore loads in the new hardware’s own drivers so that the image from the previous hardware platform will allow the machine to be flawlessly restored to a different hardware platform, complete with operating system, applications, data and all previous settings. Recovery can be implemented to an existing system, to a new system with different hardware, or to a virtual server, in minutes, by following these steps:

• Boot your replacement system with Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 bootable media you have created and select ‘Recovery’ in the menu.
•  
• Select the image to restore.
•  
• Acronis Universal Restore then initiates the restore process, detects the hardware and installs the appropriate drivers for Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL).
•  
• The result is a perfectly functioning system on a new hardware platform.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Universal Restore requires Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 to be installed.
